 Chester Bennington's Widow Posts Video of Him in Great Mood with Family 36 Hours Before Suicide 
 
 Chester Bennington appeared happy and engaged with his own family less than 2 days before his hanging suicide ... based on a video his widow shared. 
 
 Talinda Bennington posted a video of Chester hanging out with one of his sons eating jelly beans ... she says it was shot just 36 hours before his death. 
 
 She captioned the vid saying "This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death. He loved us SO much & we loved him." 
 
 We broke the story ... Chester committed suicide by hanging in July ... much like his good friend and fellow musician Chris Cornell did just a couple months before. 
 
 Talinda seems to be making a point here -- even though Chester might have been deeply depressed ... he was able to mask it well enough around those closest to him. She's already taken steps to prevent copycat cases by putting together an org to help fight suicide. ||||| Chester Bennington‘s widow is spreading that word that people with depression don’t always show that side to others. 
 
 On Saturday, Talinda Bennington shared a video on Twitter showing her husband playing a game with his children. He and two others spun to see what jelly bean color they had to eat, not knowing if it was a traditional candy flavor or something disgusting. 
 
 Turns out, Chester’s flavor was “rotten eggs,” which he immediately spit out and laughed as he tried to get the gross taste out of his mouth. 
 
 “This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death,” Talinda captioned the post. “He loved us SO much & we loved him.”

 Talinda recently broke her silence about her husband’s death. 
 
 “One week ago, I lost my soulmate and my children lost their hero-their Daddy,” the 40-year-old said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE. “We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy. How do I move on? How do I pick up my shattered soul?” 
 
 Talinda takes comfort and strength in the three children they share. 
 
 “The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left,” she said. “I want to let my community and the fans worldwide know that we feel your love. We feel your loss as well. My babies are so young to have lost their daddy. And I know that all of you will help keep his memory alive. He was a bright, loving soul with an angel’s voice. And now he is pain free singing his songs in all of our hearts. May God Bless us all and help us turn to one another when we are in pain. Chester would’ve wanted us to do so. Rest In Peace, my love.”

 Chester Bennington's Family Taking Steps to Prevent Copycat Suicide 
 
 EXCLUSIVE 
 
 Chester Bennington's suicide will not be used as inspiration for would-be copycats if his family has anything to say about it ... 'cause they're putting together a plan to stop that. 
 
 Sources close to Bennington's family tell TMZ ... they're planning on establishing a suicide awareness org in hopes of preventing Chester's fans, especially young people, from suffering the same fate as the Linkin Park lead singer. 
 
 We're told the family worries in the wake of 2 huge rock stars recently committing suicide -- Chester and Chris Cornell -- fans of theirs might want to glorify or somehow honor their deaths by doing the same. They're also worried trouble people might view this as an appropriate way out. 
 
 Chester's fam wants to raise suicide awareness and provide resources to those contemplating it. They feel Chester's biggest downfall was being alone, especially in his final moments ... so they want to stress the importance of surrounding yourself with loved ones. 
 
 They're still in the early stages. No word on when the new org will be up and running.
– Even those closest to someone with depression might not see warning signs, as evidenced by a new video posted by Chester Bennington's widow. TMZ reports that Talinda Bennington uploaded a video to Twitter on Saturday showing the Linkin Park frontman, who killed himself in July, participating in a jelly bean-eating contest with one of his sons and another man not even two days before his suicide. He's seen hamming it up for at least one giggling child off-screen as he consumes a sample (he speculates it's "rotten egg" flavor), spitting out the awful-tasting candy and laughing with his family. "This is what depression looked like to us just 36 hrs b4 his death," Talinda writes. "He loved us SO much & we loved him." People notes that Talinda has used her Twitter feed since her husband's death to spread awareness about mental illness, often with the hashtags #f---depression and #MakeChesterProud. Earlier this month, she posted a photo of a smiling Bennington hanging out with his family near the water, with the caption: "This was days b4 my husband took his own life. Suicidal thoughts were there, but you'd. Never [know]." TMZ noted in late August that Bennington's family plans on setting up a suicide awareness organization to help prevent copycat suicides in the wake of his death and that of friend Chris Cornell, the lead singer of Soundgarden who took his own life in May. (Talinda Bennington's statement after her husband's death talked about her "shattered soul.")
