One of my Dearest Friends is Dying......

That is part of why I was not at chat last night. I'm emotionally exhausted.


This lady I met online just over 5yrs ago. There are a group of us, now 13, that have been communicating online, we have Christmas exchanges, We send cards, talk on the phone etc. We just as good of friends as if you met someone face to face and stayed friends. I'd trust my kids with any one of these ladies.


Last week of them fell ill and we're not sure, the dr's aren't sure, what is going on with her. All we know is that she kept on seizing so they put her into a drug induced coma for the safety of her brain. Everytime they try to bring her out for an MRI she begins to seize. She has developed a lung infection although with other minor infections that are all under control but still they are there.


I'm terrified. I feel so helpless right now. Of the 13 ladies this is probably one of my favorites. She & I are so alike in so many different ways. I can't imagine the world without her.


Dh & I have discussed and decided that if she does pass I am going. I can't afford to fly on short notice so I will drive. I pray that, that never comes to pass. I pray I never have to visit her, meet her for the first time at her own funeral. It kills me to write these words, It kills me to even think them. Like I said emotionally I'm a mess as are the rest of the ladies in the circle.


This lady is one of the strongest women I know and so I know that she is fighting with everything she has to come back to us and we are praying with everything we have to get her back to us. If you wouldn't mind I'd appreciate if you could say a small prayer for her, she needs them. It's been an uphill battle and I feel so horrible for her boyfriend. I spoke with him and he is the nicest man. They have been together for a very long time, just never got married. He will be the one to make decisions if need be.


For me, For my circle of friends, and most importantly for my friend please say a small prayer. We can't lose her.


Hugs & Prayers,



Danielle

Thank you Judy & Mel. I just don't know what to expect, none of us do. I did the saddest thing that I have been avoiding and it killed me to do it. I tried on my funeral suit : ( Oh it was so hard to do. I pray that there will be no need to wash, pack or put it on again.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. Though this reply is late, please know you're in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you don't have to go to a funeral, also, but please know we're here for you no matter what happens.

I do think it's great that you have had this group of online friends for so long. It's inspiring.

Take care,
Kendra

Thank you Kendra. You're not too late, My need for support is a continual thing. Each day that passes I just don't know what to expect. Part of me says YAHOO that's great, she's made it another day and the other part is just depressed because it's another day with no change. It's so hard right now.


Thank you so much for your support.


Hugs & Prayers,
