    "comment": "From Mike in Chicago:\n\nI lost my father to suicide in 1997. I had a hard time truly mourning - the abruptness and nature of his death left me in shock. I went to therapy at the urging of my mother - but there wasn’t a “connection” that was helping me. One day on my commute to work, I heard Johnny Cash’s version of Will Oldham’s “I See a Darkness” and the flood gates opened. I sobbed uncontrollably for a month straight every day as I listened to the song - and am crying as i type this. Johnny Cash was an artist my dad loved - and hearing JC - older than my father but certainly they were of the same generation - singing what I interpret as an apology for leaving someone he loves is the vehicle I needed. I recently turned the age my father was when he passed. I dread this upcoming year and I will lean on and love my friends and family to make it passed this cursed age.",
