The world went into collective shock last year when Chester Bennington hanged himself. The frontman of rock band Linkin Park had shown no signs of depression in the days leading up to his death. In fact, there was even a video that surfaced a few days later, showing him playing with his children, laughing and joking as if he didn’t have a care in the world. But like a termite eats through a piece of furniture, there must have been some monumental sense of grief eating him up. It’s just that, heartbreakingly, his loved ones failed to recognise it. And Bennington himself thought his condition to be so hopeless that he suspended his will to live.
