Sorry to hear that.:( :(

So sorry to hear your sad news Trinity.

It is so weird, my friend and I have kind of lived parallel lives for the past 20 odd years. We met at work, married a year apart and had our kids a year apart.

I can't believe she is gone. I don't know how her husband will cope - he is heart broken, and the boys are so young (13 and 16). The elder one is due to sit his Highers (Scottish A Levels) in two weeks.

How can it be that someone is perfectly fine one week, and the next week they are switching off the life support machine because they are brain dead?

I could understand more if she had had an accident, but she didn't, she had a stroke at 45.

I know that 45 seems old to a lot of you, but it isn't, it is young! It is only half way there.

I can't believe it, I really can't.

I'm really sorry to hear your tragic news Trinity :(

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. It is so much worse when it is that sudden. It's so difficult. I'm thinking of you.

So sorry to hear that Trinity :( Thinking of you x
