Robin Williams's Widow Opens Up About His Suicide and Her Love For Him

Robin Williams's widow, Susan Williams, opened up about her loss in her first interview since the actor's tragic death. The couple was together for seven years and married for three. In her interview with ABC News, she shared how strong her feelings were for him, saying, "It's the best love I ever dreamed of." Susan also talked about Robin's death and the coroner's report, which said that he had Lewy body dementia. "No one could have done anything more for Robin," she said, adding, "This disease is like a sea monster with 50 tentacles of symptoms that show when they want. It's chemical warfare in the brain. And we can't find it until someone dies definitively. There is no cure."

Susan got emotional as she remembered her final conversation with Robin, explaining that she was getting into bed and he came into the room. "He said, 'Goodnight, my love,' and then he came back again . . . he said, 'Goodnight, goodnight.' That was the last."

Asked whether Robin had ever said he didn't want to live anymore, Susan said he hadn't. "He was sick and tired of what was going on, absolutely . . . and when he got the Parkinson's diagnosis, you know, I mean, in one sense, it was like this is it. This is what we've been — we've been chasing something, now we found it," she said. "And we felt the sense of release and relief. But also, like, 'Oh my god, what does this mean?'"
