Depression! Is all I have to say.

This is so sad; she seemed like a lovely person. Here are some posts...the first one from her husband (he has pictures from her funeral on his FB page, as well as pictures of them younger).

It is with a grievous heart that I make this post. My loving wife of more than twenty two years passed away last night. We had a rough year this year but were on the ups and was so grateful she chose me to go to a concert with for her birthday and share her last moments with me. Thanks to all the family and friends who've reached out to us, we are grateful for your support.

I feel so sad that her last several months on this earth were sad and painful ones. I grew up with her. We talked many times over the last 6 months. I am sad that her life was cut short. She was meant to live a much fuller and happier life than she did in her last months. I look up to her so much for putting a smile on her face as much as she did. I know that was for her children that she loved deeper than any love possible. I know her life was meant to be longer than this. May she have peace now and I hope she is given the opportunity to live the years that she did not in the here after.

That's just sad. She has a beautiful family. Her kids are adorable.
Depression can bring you into such a dark place and the darkness can suck you in. I hate seeing these bc I can relate.
RIP Heather 💜
