A friend of the singer, Danno Hanks, told People magazine (on newsstands Friday) that Mindy had “lost all hope” when she was served with court papers suggesting her two children, Zander, 6, and Zayne, 10 months, move in with her estranged mother.
"The most important thing are (sic) my babies must come home," she told Danno in an email.
Police told People, McCready’s home was left in disarray with food, dog feces and prescription pill bottles. The body of a dog, which had belonged to Wilson, was also found. Mindy reportedly shot the animal before she took her own life.
“Extra” also obtained a never-before-seen interview with McCready and David Wilson before their deaths. The interview took place in 2010 in Nashville, and they both opened up about their relationship.
McCready said, “He's a good man. I haven't known too many of them in my life.” Wilson added, “I think the world of her. I don't think anybody really knows her like I do… She's everything to me. She's an angel.”

It is sad. She really needed help. She needed institutionalized until she could cope with her boyfriend demise.
If she got the help she needed she may have gotten her children back. Life goes on, she may have been ready for another relationship in a few years, she didn't have to shoot the dog. That was mean spirited. Family knew she was a boiling pot, I think they allowed things to ride along, never thinking she would shoot herself, women usually do not, men do. It didn't have to happen.
It must have been God's will, God bless the souls of the despaired, for the emptiness of loss of hope is very scary.
