Horse owner takes own life, after her beloved horse is PTS

Poor woman, she lost another horse on 2011 as well, she must have felt so lost, at least she's at peace now unlike her poor family, who must be going through hell.
The funeral must have seen quite a sight with her riding friends joining in.
 
How very sad though when I read about the funeral that really made me well up, it must have been a lovely sight . RIP na d hope she meets up with her horses.
 
Desperately sad :(

Her family must be devastated. Life can be a very lonely place even surrounded by people and goes to show how much our horses can bring to our life.
 
I saw this posted on Facebook. God, how sad and upsetting for her family. It is horrendous when we have to make these decisions about our animals but I just can't imagine how she must have felt for this to seem her only option.
It is so awful when people feel this is what will release them from their pain :-(

I know how she feels and I have thought about ending my life too after my HOAL was PTS too.

RIP both of you, your now together again, sympathies with the family at this time.

I am sorry you have ever felt like that. My friend's sister took her own life two years ago. She was 31. I would appeal to anyone who is feeling this low to please talk to someone. Really you need to tell people how you feel. They will listen and you are not alone in your feelings. please don't think your life isn't worth anything
 
Please please please ,if your friend has ,or is about to have their horse put down ,or has lost their horse,if you are a true friend ,be there for them . They will never need your support more!
 
I'm not sure of the modern day intentions, but there was a time when in a Coroners Court, when suicide was attributed to being; "Whilst the balance of their mind was disturbed".

However distressed we may be over the loss of a much loved companion, two legged or four, to end our life because we cannot live without another, would speak to me of a deeply disturbed mind. It's a tragedy that the lady concerned didn't have the support which she clearly needed.

As everyone else, such a loss is a tragedy, I pray that the lady is now at peace and that those close to her find resolve, as best they can.

a.
 
Terribly sad. I feel for her poor parents - they must be devastated. I can't imagine how low she must have felt to have done such a thing, but it's such a shame that she couldn't pull herself up from that low point. My thoughts are with her family and may she rest in peace with her beloved horse.

Very good advice.
 
What never fails to surprise me is the capacity of some to amuse themselves by hiding behind a screen and their ability and delight at causing such distress.

Such shameful behaviour.

There's no such thing as Freedom, or at least, if there is, it will always cost someone.

After suffering an unexpected family suicide last July I would say attitudes have moved on a little thankfully; the emphasis is to protect the family, not cause additional pain by somewhat stating the obvious. Sometimes ALL the support in the world IS there but not taken up……that’s the most distressing part.

So sorry for friends and family here, they will never get their why’s? answered – it’s a bleak place being left to pick up the pieces.

It is indeed... and I imagine a certain amount of bewilderment and shock in attempting to come to terms with why someone would be so attached to a horse - which to many is 'just an animal' after all - that losing it (him) could apparently surpass friendships and family ties in importance, but at the same acknowledging the depth of feeling and the strength of the relationship.

I would imagine that there were underlying factors as well and maybe the loss of her horse was the last straw for her.Its a horrible situation.You have to feel for her because to feel that devasted that taking your own life is the only way out that you can see.The family also must be devastated.
