I got some very bad news yesterday. I think it's some of the worst news ever.

A friend of mine, Sandra, well actually more of an accquantance - well she had some problems. She had a child very young and her daugher had some problems too.

Her daughter was in a mental health hospital I guess and tried to take her own life.

I guess the aides or nurses found her and got her medical attention, but now she is brain dead and on life support. Her mother now has to go there and take her off life support because they say since she is brain dead, there is no chance of her waking up.

I can only imagine how horrible this is. She really doesn't have that many people around her and if any of you could just remember her when you pray or whatever it is you do - I would be very thankful.

I am so heartbroken for her and cannot imagine what this is going to do to her. She has been through so much in her life and to have this now - when she thought her daughter was getting better - is just devistating.

Thank you so much for any kind thoughts you can through her way.

Eileen,

I am so deeply saddened by this news. My heart goes out to your Friend and you as well, as I know how this can affect you, your loved ones and those close to you.

My family has suffered loss last year, in a couple unexpected ways. We lost a very young precious life and we lost two others of the most important to us we thought would and could live on forever.

I keep them in prayers always as I will keep Sandra and her loved ones and you as well.. Lori

I can't even imagine how a Mom could live through something like that....I guess you just keep putting one foot in front of the other.

Eileen, Sandra and her family will be in my prayers! You will be, too!

Thank you all so much.

I really don't know how Sandra is putting one foot in front of the other right now!

It definatly is the worst thing I think any human could go through.

I am so happy to know, that even though you guys don't know her, you are wishing her well. That means the world to her and to me.

Thank you so so much!
