Chris Cornell's widow opens up about her husband's addiction before his suicide

3 years later, and I am still floored by his passing. Rest in peace Chris, the world misses you.

"No one sings like you anymore" R.I.P. CHRIS

The aura that surrounded Chris was almost mystical, like maybe he was an angel

Her feelings were completely normal. I recently lost my 23 year old son to suicide and while it makes no logical sense for me to feel guilty... it's still there. It's something that comes with loss by suicide. No matter how much you tried to help the person you lose, you still think about all the scenarios, "I could have done this.... would that have saved their life?", etc. It's a torment that only someone that has been though it understands. My heart breaks for Vicky and the kids. I don't wish this hell on my worst enemy.

At my 60's, spanish speaking person , at the bottom of South America, I can say....thank you Chris Cornell for making me believe in music and talent again when i thought everything was lost, you were a gift to this world .......

Chris you are missed so much. I can't get over this one.

His passing broke my heart. He was a beautiful person. Unlike Kurt and Layne, I didn't see this one coming. It still causes me pain.

My heart still breaks every time I remember he's no longer with us. I was depressed the night he died and I had blade to skin ready to leave this world myself. I chose life that night and woke up the next day to learn he was gone. It changed me forever. His music changed me forever. RIP Chris. To this day, no one sings like you anymore.

Please remember his children may read these comments. I can't imagine what it must be like for them.

I saw Chris Cornell at Massey Hall in Toronto in 2014 and I will always regard that concert as the best that I've ever seen. When he spoke he was so down to earth , talking about his wife and family, and when he opened up the pipes he brought the house down, literally. It was a sold out show and one that I will always remember. He didn't even have a band, because in short, he didn't need one and he had everyone eating out of his hand. I will never forget his amazing talent, but more than that, I will certainly never forget the way he treated his fans. A true gentleman and unbelievable musician. He is definitely with the angels.

Chris, I'm 46, and I have spent over 30 years of my life loving your music, and worshipping your once in a lifetime voice. You are so loved, and you will never, ever be forgotten. My heart still cries tears for your loss.... No one will ever sing like you again....

He was much thinner than I have ever seen him right before his death. He was not well. Beautiful man, beautiful soul. RIP.

The official report said that he didn't have a high level of anything in his tox screen. The drug that Vicky mentioned is Lorazepam. It is a mild sedative, prescribed mainly for anxiety. The coroners report stated that the level of Lorazepam in his blood was consistent with his prescription dosage. In other words: He did NOT O.D. on it, and there was not enough in his system to cause him to lose his mind. There were other contributing factors that only Chris knew at the time. The world is a lesser place without Chris Cornell. We will never see such as his musical genius again. R.I.P. Chris. You are sorely missed.

The severe depression he battled is only understood by those who have been there. It's the darkest of places.

Chris's voice is legendary. His voice was so beautifully unique and his death along with Chester's death was heartbreaking.

You never know how much you love someone till they’re gone...don’t take anyone or anything for granted. NO ONE SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE

So many of his lyrics just captured my depression perfectly. Seeing him live in concert was one of the greatest moments of my life. He remains one of the greatest talents ever!

I like the way Chris would shake everyones hand when he came on stage. Shows he was a respectful man.

Ms. Roberts is a class act. Intelligent and compassionate. Thank you, ma'am.

The most tragic loss for his family and us his fans there will never be another like him
