She asked for help more then once and never really got it.
I've said in the past that suicide can be the selfish way out, and I've reflected on that a lot lately for personal reasons.
I don't think its truly the selfish way out, its a way out of what a person perceives as being alone in the dark facing pain that will never end.
Its not noble, its not really forgivable because of what it puts the family through, but to that person who has gotten to that point of despair and darkness it could be view as the only way.
On top of that they tend to believe that not only is it the best way out for them, it eases a burden on family and friends and the decision I think comes easier.
Mindy McCready was talented and had everything she could have possibly wanted, but she for whatever reason was suffering, she might have in her mind believed that her kids would have been better off without her.
Such is the depth of mental illness, hopefully lessons are learned, and somewhere down the road it prevents or saves someone else from doing it because the signs are recognized.
Rest in Peace

This is a big one. The self deprecation and continuous internal bombardment of "you're worthless" type thoughts really lead those people into thinking that the world would be a better place without them. This self deprecation and low-self worth eventually signals everyone around them to treat them in this way as well. Exept for the people that truly love them and continually try to help them. It's a hard road of those tortured souls.
