I'll help you:

quote:

The first thing Ryan saw upon entering Gia’s fourth-floor apartment were her knees. His recollections of what followed are fragmentary. His screaming and running to her. The vacuum-cleaner cord hanging from the second-floor handrail of the spiral staircase, so tight around her neck that at first he couldn’t loosen it. Gia’s dog, Bentley, running to him. A neighbor arriving and dialing 911 as Ryan tried to revive Gia. Seeing the three-word note in her handwriting on the dining room table: Mom gets everything. Paramedics rushing in. Ryan calling Donna. Donna cursing at him, screaming that he knew Gia was sensitive, that he was supposed to protect her. The police pushing through the door. Ryan answering questions, sobbing, blaming himself. Pelicans coach Monty Williams hurrying in with a team security guard and finding Ryan slumped on the carpet, his back to the door, unable to rise. Williams dropping to his knees and hugging his player, the two men rocking back and forth.

Good story but tough to read. Between his account and her Mom talking about being on the phone with her and hearing her hang herself was awful.

I felt really really bad for Ryan Anderson about what happened to his girlfriend. Always rooting for him.

I have had my battles with depression. It's not pleasant.

I've learned just to do the things I love and not to worry about the small things in life.

It always sucks hearing about things like this, but I'm glad Ryan is putting an effort into suicide awareness.

Now I won't be angry when he torches my favorite team(Nets)

Hopefully society will wake up to this issue.

No. Someone needs to bring more attention to it, and there's no better somebody than Ryan Anderson
