Last week, one of my closest friends died suddenly at the age of 51. The doctors are calling it a critical hypertensive spike. She had a similar spike earlier in the week. She went to the ED where she was tested, treated and released. I spoke with her the day after her stay in the ED. I talked with her again the night before she died. She wasn''t feeling well, but her BP had dropped into normal range. Her follow up appointment with her PCP was Friday. On Thursday night, she collapsed. According to the medical reports, she was brain dead at that time. They pronounced her on Friday. She was alone in the house with her nine y.o. daughter. We attended her viewing and memorial service this week.
I am devastated by this loss. She and I had been there for each other during many struggles and losses. We promised that we would help each other survive the dark times and celebrate the good ones...a promise that will never be. Please help me walk through this difficult time.
