Why Did She Do It?

The movie was good and the acting great but what I do not understand is WHY she killed herself at the end? OR was it just an accident? She has just given the best performance of her life and her husband and her were getting tight and close again and perhaps could of had another baby in the future {I saw what a wonderful Mother she would be when she was with that child Travis} Did she accidently overdose or was it intentional? I cannot figure it out! Just when things were getting so good again, you could tell how much her husband still loved her as her fans, I guess I just dont get it? Anyone else?

There were a couple of reasons I think. She had not been strong enough yet to leave rehab that was obvious from the beginning. She had not recovered from having a miscarriage that was probably her fault. Her husband was unable to forgive her for losing the baby. She was already slipping back into her old habits, Beau had fell in love with someone else and her husband was expecting her to just bounce back and be the way she used to be and she could never be that again.

I think she just wanted to go out the way her husband and her fans remembered her best before she disappointed them all again.

Obviously she was unhappy and felt that she was disappearing and the famous Kelly was more important to everyone than she was. Her husband took her out of rehab before she was finished to get back on the road. He said after her last show that now she could do more concerts and that isn't what she wanted. I think she wanted to be more important to him then the fame and money.
