Talinda Bennington Unites People Suffering From Depression

Chester Bennington's widow Talinda Bennington called into Sixx Sense with Nikki Sixx to talk about her social media campaign to unite and help people suffering from depression with the hashtags #MakeChesterProud and #F---Depression. 

"One of those sleepless nights, I was on Twitter and I was reading through just hundreds of condolences to myself and my children," Talinda explained how she came up with the campaign. "And I started to notice that fans were saying they were hurting, and they didn't know what to do. And it weighed heavily on my heart, because their words were comforting me. And I just thought to myself, 'You know what? What if we could just talk to each other?'" 

"The loss of my husband just left such a gap in our world, and I feel like his death is kind of the straw that broke the camel's back with this," she continued. "He's left me with such a huge platform to be able to be heard, and that's what I plan on doing in his name, in his honor."
