My cousin who was only 43 had a heart attack last night and passed away. We are only a year apart and grew up together. We were always at each others house and played together every day in the summers. I cant afford to travel home to Michigan for the funeral. I'm still in shock,she was so young she had just became a grandma a few months ago. I just needed to share this with someone. Thanks for being here.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your cousin. Was there any warning ... did she have a heart condition? That is a very young age, and it saddens me greatly. What a loss for all of her family. Please take care of yourself, and I'm sure your family will miss you being there, but will understand at the same time.

No warning at all. My mom had just talked to her on the phone earlier last night and she was fine. I know it is God's will it's just sometimes hard to understand.

Hello LightningMd
Sorry to hear that, and i will pray for your cousin.
Every body can get heart attack, young old, man woman. We must concern with our health and doing check up regularly.
God bless you

Awwww, that is so sad, I am so sorry to hear that. It really makes you think. My friends brother passed away last year from throat cancer, he was 34. The doctors said it was from smoke, he never smoked a day in his life but was around smoke his whole life. So sad and just not fair.
