A week and a half after Mindy McCready's tragic suicide, the late country star was laid to rest in a funeral held in her hometown of Ft. Myers, Florida earlier today.

The public funeral welcomed 400 mourners to Crossroads Baptist Church after the troubled singer put a single gunhot into her head.

Family, friends, and fans were then graced with words from Mindy's mother, Gayle Inge.

The more we hear about the days before Mindy McCready’s suicide, the clearer it becomes that she was struggling to deal with unimaginable pain.

While everyone was shocked to hear Mindy McCready had committed suicide, it is less shocking when you realize she had attempted suicide four times before.

The country singer had a dark past that involved one attempt at cutting her wrists and a number of overdoses, including one that occurred while she was pregnant with her oldest son.

Her first overdose was in 2005 and involved pills and alcohol that she took during an abusive relationship with Billy McKnight.

Mikael Wood, a Los Angeles Times music writer, revealed details about the attempt:

Shawn Carnes, Mindy's friend, has spoken out on behalf of her family to clear up the false report. He explained:
