You Never Know...

We just had something happen here...
A co-worker of my girlfriend, his 37 year old wife became ill saturday. At first she was having trouble breathing. Then she couldn't breath, he rushed her to the hospital emergency room and by that evening she was on life support and had coded once. They ran tons of tests looking for a bacteria or virus. She died tuesday night. They have no idea what killed her. They even called the CDC, they came here even they haven't a clue yet. At first they thought it was strep, then a viral infection but now they don't know. She coded four times before they finally called it quits tuesday night. I would ask folks to please think of and keep the family in their prayers. It's very humbling to think you could be gone that fast. She was a healthy woman and mother of two.
You never think of things like that happening, it really makes you put your priorities in order.

Oh, this is terrible - your friend and his two kids must feel awful.

The same kind of thing happened to my aunt, about 10 years ago - she was barely 45, one day she fell in a coma and died 3 days later. She never had any known disease. And it was kind of ironic, since of all my parents and uncles and aunts, she was the one who lived the healthiest life : diet, sport, ... She also had two children, quite grown up. My uncle has taken to live only for work ever since, never did have another woman in his life.

Please send my feelings to your friend and his kids, for what they are worth (the feelings, not the kids) ...

That is awful, Wolfere. And yes, sudden death can take us all. It is better. for the one dying than a lingering death - but such a terrible shock for the family and friends. You must be feeling quite stunned yourself.

How come stuff like this always happens to good people? It just isn't fair. I don't even want to think what i'd do if one of parents died so suddenly.

Wulfere, I'm sorry to hear about that. God bless your friend's family.

Wulfere that is very sad to hear. I hope the kids and family are going to be all right. Times like this every one needs to pull together and help each other. Please send my prayers to the friends and family.

How sad.
I will pray and send all the love and comfort I can their way.

Wulfere,

That truly is sad

to hear of someone dying at such a young age breaks my heart, and even more so someone that had everything to live for. My thoughts are with the family.

Sorry to hear this...

I have a theory I would like to share...

She may have gone early, meaning she was fulfilled, nothing else to go onto in life... Well it's hard to explain without a vivid sense of imagination. Meaning that, his wife may have lived her life as she wanted to... The way she wanted to... couldn't ask for more...

I'll pray for them, but I have this feeling that she is in good hands now...

------------------

My love for her is beyond words... beyond time... you know this
