It's been a tough year for Shameless actress Tina Malone, who lost her beloved husband, Paul Chase, at the beginning of the year. After months of grieving in private, Tina has finally opened up in her first interview since her devastating loss.
Paul, a 42-year-old army veteran, tragically took his own life after battling mental health issues for years. Now, Tina is determined to honor his memory by setting up a mental health charity to help others in need.
In a recent interview with OK! Magazine, Tina bravely revealed the cause of Paul's death for the first time. She explained that she wanted to be transparent and spread awareness about the importance of mental health.
Losing her husband has been incredibly difficult for Tina, who admits she will never fully get over it. She misses him dearly and feels his presence all around her. But she takes comfort in knowing that he is in a better place.
Tina recalled the night she knew something was wrong, as Paul didn't come home and police officers arrived at her house with sirens blaring. She credits her 10-year-old daughter, Flame, for giving her the strength to keep going. Tina and Paul were married for over a decade and welcomed Flame when Tina was 50 years old.
Paul's birthday would have been on May 28th, and Tina has decided to launch a charity in his honor called Paul's Flame. The foundation will provide assistance to people in crisis, with a focus on military veterans who are at a higher risk of suicide. Tina believes that witnessing the horrors of war contributed to Paul's post-traumatic stress disorder, which eventually led to his anxiety and depression.
She also wants to break the stigma surrounding suicide and encourage more open conversations about mental health. Tina believes that there needs to be more support and resources for people like Paul who are struggling.
Although Tina has kept a low profile since Paul's passing, she did take to social media to thank everyone for their support. She expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming love and kindness she has received from friends, family, and even Paul's army brothers.
As she marks six weeks since Paul's death, Tina continues to grieve but knows that he will always live on in her heart. She also wants to encourage others to seek help if they are struggling with their mental health.
For anyone who needs emotional support, Tina recommends contacting the Samaritans 24-hour helpline or reaching out to PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide UK. She wants everyone to know that they are not alone and that there is always someone who cares.
