Re: Andreas4dogs
Thank you.
I feel like my whole world is shattering.
She has two boys - one and six. We have been friends since we were little kids.
She lives in FL (and I am in NJ) but 'luckily' I am able to talk with her husband and was able to talk with her mom (she was like a 2nd mom to me).
Right now she is on a ventilator, no feeding tube, and they just increased her pain medication. She is 28 years old.
She was born with a genetic disorder (that her brother died from 19 years ago) & even though she would go into the hospital, she would always recover. We are (I hate using past tense) so close I never saw 'this' coming...because of the medical advances and such.
Apparently she stopped breathing her sleep. She suffered from hypoxia (lack of oxygen to the brain I think?) and was in a coma for a few weeks and was transferred to hospice a few days ago.
I feel horrible I didn't even know she was in a coma because while we talked almost daily, she was starting school and I figured she was busy...little did I know, she was in a coma. I should have known.
We are close even when we didnt talk - we have known each other so long it was unspoken (knowing what the other one is thinking).
On another note, something like this really puts things in perspective. Arguing on here (and my getting angry) just seems so pointless.
I just don't care anymore. It is minutia.
Thank you so much. I feel like I at least have to do something, and I remember the wonderful day when she was the matron of honor in my wedding. We were so happy.
At this point, I just want her to pass peacefully and without pain...
Her mother is so strong. I spoke to her the other night and she is so amazing...I, on the other hand, completely lost it.
Thanks for letting me ramble.
You will forever be my best friend. I can almost feel our hugs. I will ensure everyone will know (now and in the future) what a genuine, kind, loving person you were...I already miss your laughter and our daily conversations. I love you, Samantha. May 20, 1983- February 20, 2012
