Actress Tina Malone Opens Up About Husband’s PTSD-Driven Suicide: “I’ll Never Get Over It”

Actress Tina Malone has shared a heartbreaking revelation about her late husband’s battle with PTSD, leading to his tragic suicide. Paul Chase, a former army veteran, passed away at the age of 41 earlier this year after struggling with anxiety and depression. Tina, best known for her roles in Brookside and Shameless, opened up about the devastating loss in an exclusive interview with the Mirror, where she confirmed that Paul had taken his own life.

Despite the 21-year age gap, Tina and Paul found love at a fitness boot camp in 2009 and went on to have a daughter named Flame. Tina described Paul as a loving father and husband, but his mental health deteriorated over time, leading to struggles with addiction and self-worth. Paul’s PTSD was diagnosed three years ago, and Tina is now launching a foundation called Paul’s Flame to help others in crisis.

The lack of support for veterans facing mental health issues has left Tina frustrated, as she believes more resources are needed to help those who have served their country. She hopes that Paul’s Flame charity will shine a light on people in need and provide assistance to those facing similar challenges. Despite the pain of losing her husband, Tina remains determined to fight for change and support others in their time of need.

As Tina continues to cope with the loss of her husband, she is grateful for the outpouring of support from friends, family, and the community. She remains in close contact with her late husband, finding comfort in the memories they shared and the legacy he leaves behind. Through her advocacy and charity work, Tina hopes to honor Paul’s memory and make a difference in the lives of those struggling with mental health issues.
