Respect to Angela for coming out and speaking about her sister's suicide and her own suicide attempt. I have no doubt that her efforts will encourage more kids and adults to try and reach out to a friend or a psychologist for help and support a lot of humans in taking that first step to finding a way out of the pain and suffering they're handling alone.

@jamesfiaco4922 3 ай бұрын

Well I'm sure your father never gave interviews like Victoria where for the past few years she has publicly globally expressed her age and medical concerns in a manner that would not anger upset or make those closest to her feel guilty for their lack of care. Because at the same time she clearly demonstrated a purely loving desire to live life to its fullest extent by expressing physical freedom each and every day all year long in the way of martial arts. So the question is why did your father not teach you how to recognize such aspects of life and death. Another question if you truly care why don't you want to see a police report here the tape of the 911 call or a criminal forensic scientist study. Because when a person truly cares the go above and beyond never overlooking anything. You fools are ready to forgive and forget MoveOn without knowing the situation in its entirety. Because you don't care about yourself or anyone else even though you falsely convince yourself otherwise. So at this point if you truly care you may wish or pray for Victoria's much-needed spiritually sought after soul and spirit to transcend through and within time similar to if she had got to live out all her life's dreams to the fullest extent may be beyond. Then simpleton was you need to do is live in accordance to validate such a confession of love for anything less is useless and therefore of no true value.

I was always in such awe of Victoria Lee as a fighter and her skill level and how young she was plus I was born and raised in Hawaii and you always root for people for Hawaii no matter what. I was also extremely shocked to hear of her passing away that day, it was so shocking. Her life and death has such a strange pull on my heart that I cannot explain. I guess you just see the infinite potential in someone young but with that skill. Life sometimes hits hard like a brick wall, emotions are soo soo heavy/dense. May she rest in peace, I’m so sorry for the loss.

It's apparent that Angela is still very fragile after everything that has happened. While her suicide awareness project is admirable and a feel good story, I hope she and others don't put added pressure on her that could negatively affect her. I would like to see Angela focus all of her energy on getting herself well first above anything else, including her career. I am disappointed that Daniel Cormier didn't ask her about whether she is receiving professional couseling or if she has joined any suicide survivor groups. It would also be helpful if the producers of the video had provided information of various suicide hotlines/resources in the video description, since this whole segement is about pursuading people who are mentally struggling to get help.

Me and my brother are jiu-jitsu partners we were in a band together and he ended his life in March this year. Ironically I tried to end my life by vehicle in 2018. When I heard victoria died on my bday I cried my tears out. When Angela revealed it was by suicide and her accident was an attempt as well. It's very enduring for me to hear her story. We literally going through the same phases in our lives at the same time. Angela is a hero of mine. I don't want her to suffer this lost or deal with this mental battle but seeing her in the same place as me helps me feel like I'm not alone.

Thank you DC and Angela for speaking up about mental health. Life is hard and cruel at times. Sometimes that safe space seems so hard to achieve and it’s feels like there is no way out. It’s never easy to go through it or especially to watch someone you love so dearly suffer as you sometimes feel helpless. We all need to remember and remind others that this too shall pass. Things may not be fixed immediately but it will get better. It breaks my heart to hear the stories of lives that are loss to suicide. May they rest in eternal peace.

Man props to you Angela for sharing your truths and condolences for your loss as well as you DC. I would always watch everyone of you ,Christian and Victorias fights as you all represented Hawaii. I tried to take my life back in 2013 and the worse thing for me was the words I received from my loved ones and to this day the quote from Keanu reeves when interviewed by Colbert on what happens when we die and he answered with “ the ones that love us will miss us and losing a loved one never goes away. I lost a son and it hurts me to this day and the only thing that got me through it was being blessed with my daughter a year later but that never goes away. Our minds, our pride and our egos can be the greatest threats to our wellbeing in moments of depression and being so overwhelmed. Thank you again for sharing your story to bring awareness to help those who are going through it to speak out so they can get the support they need to help them see brighter days. Condolences to you and your ‘ohana.
