Why?

Headed out this morning and noticed two Sheriff's vehicles next door. Just thought the owner might have evicted his tenants like he had talked about one day.
Came home this evening to find out that the tenants heard the owners dog barking in the barn, which is where he and his dog where lived They talked to another neighbor and decided to break a window to get to her. When they did, they discovered the owner, my neighbor, had hung himself.
I am in shock...don't know how I feel really. He was a sweet man who was just trying to get along in life.
I'll miss him.

There's no way we can understand why or how people get to that point. I know exactly how you feel. I've been through a similar situation, more than once I'm sad to say.
Big hugs, my friend.

so sorry to hear about that! Be sure to burn some sage in and around your home to cleanse it to ward off any troubled spirits.

OMG that's just awful Mahala. It really gives one pause as to how despondent a person has to be to take their own life. Sad, so sad.
