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.

45 is not old.. I can understand why you are so shocked.. I would be too... as you said it is not like she had an accident or something.. one day she was there, the next not..
