So sad - just can't get this out of my head.

Yesterday neighbours of ours got up went about their daily business thinking their daughter was having a long lie while on holiday from Uni and when they went to wake her they found her dead. She was, as far as we know, a healthy young woman. Just cant take it in and have been thinking about them all yesterday and today - no question, just needed to to share but didn't want to post in FB as people would then know me and would be able to perhaps identify them and its not my place or intention to put them in that position.

I lost my mum on Christmas Eve over 20 years ago and it always makes Christmas a bit sad although she would have wanted us to get on with it.At the time I remember my sister said "Mum would be pleased we would'nt have to take time off work".

That's so weird. My friend just text me about a girl in our year at school who just died last week, completely out of the blue. It's pretty scary. She was only 21 :-(

[annie0000]

Sorry to hear that giveup and all others who have lost a loved one especially at this time of year.

Erin - maybe it is the same girl - name begins with G?

[erin-x]

No her name began with an L... I think my mum has been shaken by it since we were the same age.

Tragic isn't it erin? Two in a week. Just heard that post mortem has not shown any reason - they are waiting on the tests (toxicology?) back on the organ samples they took now but it could be that it remains unexplained - I think that will be worse, imagine if they never find out?

Funeral tomorrow :o(

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Annie - this happenend to my son's best friend a few years ago. His mum could not get hold of him and hadn't heard from him for a couple of days, which was unusual, so she went round to his flat and found him dead in bed. He was just a normal, clean living and hard working lad. They held an inquest - no drugs, no alcohol - absolutely no cause. Put down as something similiar to adult cot death. My son was devastated. His mother still thinks if she had gone round earlier she might have saved him. It is very hard to accept at any time.

Such a shame annie xx

[annie0000]

Bakers, that is very sad too. Someone else mentioned that possibility a couple of days ago and it's looking like it might be the case here as well. I've been thinking about them all over Christmas and feeling guilty that I have two kids running about - I think everyone is feeling the same as there haven't been many ids out playing although I am sure that is the last thing that the family would want.

Anyway, I've decided to go to the church service but not the crematorium.

it is sad haysi and cath and all the other's who've kindly posted.

Happened to my friends friend who was under 30yrs old- sudden adult death syndrome!

Awful...hope it goes well tomorrow x

[annie0000]

thanks tinks I hope so too - i've attended too many funerals of people who were too young to die, it's never a good day really, at least with someone who has had a full life it seems like natural thing.

[sherrardk]

Very sad, but from the replies you have had it seems to be more common than I thought. When my husband was teaching the young lad who was caretaker didn't show up one day, as the only other male, himself was sent round to his house and found him dead in his bed. They put it down to a form of adult cot death. Hope tomorrow goes as well as can be expected, x.

[annie0000]

Thanks Sher - It seems surprisingly common - It's frightening really :o(
