Update to my friend is in a coma

[freebielover]

I don't know if any of you remember the thread about my friend who got in a car accident and had to be placed in a coma. Well they induced the coma, couldn't pull her out of it and they had to take her off life support. She died on tuesday at 17 years old. Its so sad, it still hasn't quite hit me, she was only 17 how could she die? I'm 19 and I still have the mindset that we just can't die as teenagers, we don't get cancer, we don't get sick and above all we just don't die. I know it happens all the time, but for it to happen to someone I know, its horrible. Her parents are destroyed, they will never get over it. She was such a good person too, at least they are sure that shes in heaven now, theres no place else she could be. Thank you for everyone that prayed for her or thought about her, as her mom put it "She lost this battle, but won the ultimate battle, she got into heaven."

I am so sorry to hear she died. There are no other words. I would be crazed, confused, depressed etc. The first nonfamily I knew to die was when we were 14 years old. A friend fell thru the ice and Bob jumped in after him. The force from Bob jumping in forced Randy up and we pulled him out but Bob got lost under the ice and drowned. What was wierd was we had been skatiing on that ice for a week during ok weather. On the coldest day it broke. What will be, will be, only God knows why. It is appearant that he needed another angel.

Me :p

I am sorry to hear about your friend, it is tough when someone you know dies but it seems to make it even harder when they are THAT young. A year ago right around this time my friend died, he was 18 at the time, and it still hurts every day, if you need to talk please PM me

Thanks guys for all of the well wishes and prayers. I'm still in a state of shock, its so awful 17 years old gone, but there are all these horrible child molesters and murderers that live to be 100. I guess she had a good life while she was here, and thats much better than having a miserable life and living a long time. Thanks again for everything, makes me feel better that I have people to talk to.

(((huggs))) have they had the funeral yet? Maybe you can talk to friends about how you feel.

My SS had a school buddy die when he was a junior but he killed himself. Much harder to understand. Your friend is in a better place but all of you need each other right now. Will be praying for all of you.

Thank you, the funeral is tomorrow and I am not looking foward to it. In high school there were people I knew who died, or killed themselves, but this one hits really badly because after the accident she was supposed to live. Doctors said she would be fine, then they induced the coma and they just could not pull her out of it. When I first heard of the accident they made it sound like a small thing, she went to the hospital, had a few broken bones and stuff but she was supposed to be out soon. Then 6 weeks in the coma and boom shes gone. We all expected her to live and I think thats the hardest thing.

Awww sweety I'm so sorry! I remember the first death I expireinced was my first love....I was 14 and so in love with him (not infatuated either) He was 17 and he went motorbiking with a bunch of friends. Well they went to a new hill the'd never gone to and he didn't realize there was a cliff and Bill went over the cliff and unfortunately he suffered for 13 days. The doctors thought he would pull thru and we went to visit him on that Wedesday and the Dr.s told my family and his that Bills brain function was deteriorating and he would die within days if they didn't do surgery. Bill was sorta alert and was able to speak some words and when they said "surgery" he said "NO" I was devistated. There was Nothing I could do to change his mind but he watched his brother die at a young age from brain cancer and he the docs said that he only had a 20% CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. Bill and I sat and I cried with him. Bill died on Valentines Evening with all of there and he had suffered for several days until he went into a coma and his parents said enough and asked them to remove all life support and he died there in my arms. Ya know I sit here typing this crying my eyes out something awful. I thought I was done grieving but now I realize I suppressed it. Make sure you talk about it with someone!
