A piece of my heart is truly broken this morning. And the irony, the sad cruel irony is that the last year he’d never been happier. The rest of my heart aches for the 3 amazing women he left behind.
Tony was a symphony. I wish everyone could have seen all of him. A true friend.

So sad to hear the news about Anthony Bourdain’s death by suicide. He was an incredibly charismatic and inspiring man. You never know who might be struggling or what internal battle someone could be facing. The importance of being there to listen and to talk can’t be overstated.

We lost Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, two soaring talents, to suicide. I lost a parent to suicide. The CDC reported yesterday suicide rates in the U.S. are on the rise.

Suicide isn't a burden for distant celebrities. It is a pervasive and growing killer.
