Anthony Bourdain died from suicide at age 61 -- June 8, 2018



It breaks my heart that he couldn't share his burden with anyone. Watching him on his various shows has cheered me on many occasions. Thank you to Rocha for sharing that sensitive personal story. We need to keep people talking and sharing. That may be one way to keep as many as possible from tragedy.




Anthony Bourdain's presence was a gift that I selfishly took for granted.  Kate Spade's death shook me, however Anthony Bourdain's death makes me almost doubt reality. He seemed invincible, courageous and such a vibrant participant in this world. He used food to show us, that globally we all have so much in common, no matter where we live or what we eat. That his emotional pain was so great that he could not go on almost makes it hard for me to breathe. I am glad the media is posting suicide hotlines and repeating that talking to someone is so important.
