so sad ...

[spidergoolash]

one of my bestist friends and coworkers has passed away. she went into the hospital in september because she was having stomach pains. she was only supposed to stay for a few days. turns out she had some kind of infection in her pancreas. shortly afterwards, she slipped into a coma and never came out. she passed early friday morning.

she had a husband and two little kids. they are devastated beyond belief. everybody at work on friday was depressed and crying. i had to keep getting up to run to the ladies' room to compose myself.

she was the nicest person on the planet who made everyone feel special. i can't think of a nicer person for this horrible thing to happen to. i keep asking - why her???? i'm so upset, i feel like punching a hole in the wall.

she loved having people around her and was always having parties and stuff. i am SO glad that i went to most of these get togethers because it made her happy to see others happy and little did we all know that our time together was coming to a close.

we're going to her wake today. this is going to be too much to handle i think.

all i can say is this: enjoy your life, enjoy your family, love every minute of life, because you never know what's going to happen. if you enjoy doing something - then DO it!

thanks for listening :sad:

Spidey, ditto to what mth said. :hug: If you want to talk over the phone just cause you need a sympathetic ear, I will listen. Just let me know, and I can send you my number, k? Hang in there, and just think of the wonderful place you great friend is. :)

thanks guys :) i knew you'd all make me feel better. well, we went today and it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. her husband seemed more relieved than anything, as her quality of life would have been next to nothing had she survived. he handled it really well. i was proud of him and her family. i was also proud of my supportive coworkers who were w/him every step of the way. they are a wonderful bunch of people.

i'm not sure if i'm going to the funeral tho. i don't know if i can handle this three days in a row. not sure yet what i'll do.

jh and mth> thanks for offering to talk. i really appreciate it.

Spidey> I'm so sorry to hear that. This has got to be so hard for you! I'm sure she knows how much you cared for her and how much you'll miss her. She sounds like a wonderful person. But think about it this way; she loved her life it seemed. She DID enjoy it and made sure she put a lot of meaning in it with her friends and family. She loved adn was loved. THAT'S a very satisfied way of living life. She had lot's of good memories and carried those with her as she passed on. You are a part of those memories and I'm sure she won't forget them.

:hug:

I'm here for you if you need anything.
