I haven't been around much the past few days. Between being busy as all get-out and whats been going on, I've just had a couple chances to drop in, make a post or two, then get back to "life".
Anyway, I have a friend who died in a car accident just before Thanksgiving. He left his wife and two daughters, one 13 and one 10. I haven't really kept in close contact with her since the accident, but saw her occasionally and she really wasn't handling life very well. Anyway, she died a few days ago. I'm not sure of the "full" story, but the term used was, she was "self-medicating". She was having trouble sleeping and just coping in general. This was a nice family ... no drug problems as far as I know ... but I don't know what she was "self-medicating" with exactly. I understand whatever it was (I didn't ask) was over the counter stuff. Tuesday, she was feeling really crappy and went to the hospital. They told her she was exhausted and needed to get plenty of rest, then they sent her home. She got the girls off to school the next morning, then took a sleeping pill to get some sleep and it had a reaction with whatever it was she was already taking. Her 13 year old daughter found her dead when she came home after school!
Those little girls just lost their dad at Thanksgiving, grieved through Christmas and two months after losing their dad, their mom is gone. They're now with their grandparents. What a tragedy. :(
