Dead by her own hand

Nancy killed herself yesterday.  She used the gun of the man that owns the house she was living and shot herself in the head, apparently using a pillow to muffle the sound and a sheet to catch the gore. And she did it in the back yard so she wouldn't make a mess. 

She leaves behind 2 daughters, age 22 and 20, and a boatload of debt.  This selfish act is the culmination of many selfish acts after she left her family 2+ years ago.  I am saddened by this action and surprised that she had the courage to do it.  A very sad, wasteful, and selfish act.  How's that hope and change working out for you, Nancy?  Apparently not so good...

It's worse that she did it the day before the 35th anniversary of her father's death.  It appears that this anniversary contributed to her proclivity to end her life.  Very sad, and very wasteful after so many years...

Costa Rica job rules changed

My wife told me this morning that Nancy has posted on her Facebook page that the rules have changed and the job she thought she had teaching English as a second language has fallen through.  She says she's broke and doesn't know what she's going to do. 

My first question was about the contract age supposedly signed.  If rule changes are covered then she might have a chance, but I also pointed out that Nancy doesn't have anybmoney to hire a lawyer so it's probably a moot point. 

I am sad that my wife didn't get any sleep after reading this but am not surprised at this outcome.  After telling one of her brothers that "life is too short" to be stuck in a regular job like he is looking for this seems almost poetic, but I don't want to be mean.  She put on her post that she "misses home", which made my wife ask what she was talking about.  Nancy has a lot to learn...

Ants, no cellular, etc.

My wife told me a little about the trials and tribulations Nancy is going through as she gets established in Costa Rica.  Ants in her bathroom and on her toothbrush, no cellular coverage, loud music from the bar next door, and other challenges are complicating her life.  Poor Nancy...

Not visiting us before leaving country

My wife got the call last night at dinner: Nancy will not be stopping
at our house on the way to visit her kids. She told my wife that her
Sunday School class was throwing a "going away" party for her and she
was going to visit with her mother today.

I have to admit that my first thought was that she probably thinks
she'll get some cash from her Church friends, which would be a lot
better than the questions my wife would give her. Oh, well -
unknowing friends are better than family in a situation like this.
