A letter from Tim’s parents

Dear All,

Tim’s tragic death has deeply affected many people throughout the world. He had only just begun his journey to know and be part of the wider world outside of music.

Tim was a seeker and a sensitive, shy person who wanted to know the truth, he was interested in the human psyche and to find ways to an inner calm and he reacted to the world's injustices and cared deeply for the planet.

Yet, it was in his music that he expressed himself, honestly and openly and it was the thing that gave him the most joy… the creative process and collaborations with the people he respected for their art and talent made him burst with enthusiasm.

In light of our loss, a loss that is indescribable as parents, but also for Tim’s friends, colleagues in the music industry and millions of Tim’s fans over the world, we felt that we should do something to ensure that Tim’s legacy is used to help, everlasting and in ways that hopefully can make real difference in some important areas.

With that all in mind Anki and I decided to start and devote ourselves to The Tim Bergling Foundation, which is the best we can do to honour our son.

With love,
Klas Bergling & Anki Lidén

Sometimes things we experience in life can seem impossible to deal with. But with support from others, we can.

A simple conversation is often an important first step. Don’t be afraid to let your friends, family, teachers or someone else in your community know how you are feeling.

If you would rather be anonymous to ask for help, there are helplines and chat services with volunteers and professionals who are here for you.
