I Held Her Hand and She Died

My son's girlfriend was visiting yesterday. She went for a walk. She called my son and said she fell. He ran and got her up. He said he would take her to the hospital. She had to go to the ladies room first. She fell in the bathroom. By then, I was on the scene. I held her hand and told her it would be alright. The paramedics arrived and said she had passed. Then the sheriff came to investigate. Then the Medical Examiner. After that, they took her away. I am devastated beyond understanding. She had multiple health problems. I know God has a purpose for everything but she was only 33.

I am glad too. She was making noises while I was talking to her. Then I could not find her pulse.

@akalinus It never makes any sense, hon... Even with health problems, 33 is very young to have passed away so suddenly like that. (I wish I could take that memory from you, Dearheart... I will keep you and your son in my thoughts... (As if you aren't there most of the time, anyway...) SMH!

She had many health problems. They called her doctors and had a long conversation.

Thats very sad, 33 years old is a very young age and it must of been a very serious fall for it to be fatal, my condolences!

The fall did not kill her. It came from other problems. She fell because she was dizzy. She has been to the emergency room many times in the last few months. Thanks for your condolences.

It was a pulmonary embolism. No one can predict something like that.
