In the end, it may have been the pain that killed her.

I'm confused. I read this whole story, waiting for the reporter to get to the pain part. I was expecting the story to tell about some nerve damage, a back problem or some other physical problem that made this woman rely on pain medication or something. The pain in her life was self-inflicted and I'm sorry she put herself and six kids through it.

She was apparently shot in the leg by her boyfriend on Valentine's day. I'm assuming that is the pain that required pain medication. That's only a few weeks back so one would expect she might still be taking the meds, but with a history of abuse, it doesn't seem a surprise she killed herself on them.

The pain was she was addicted to pain killers.

Read more carefully. She was shot in the leg and tried to treat it herself. This woman was not the brightest bulb on the string, that's for sure and for certain.
