She offed herself because jealous cunts said she was hoarding foxes?

I kind of get it. Not the suicide part obviously, but imagine you've focused your entire life around trying to help some animals. But you've had some that died (possibly after a protracted battle), which were each emotional in their own rights. Now here's a sizable group of people insisting that you killed those animals. That all the actions you'd been taking for many years of your life, with the best of intentions were actively harmful to the ones you were trying to protect. If they can get that idea to take root, it's the kind of thing that would make anyone question everything they'd done up to that point.

Then you stack it with existing mental issues and it's probably going to turn real bad.
