I've been trying to be "good" and post this from my blackberry, but lj mobile is anti.

I found out this morning that a work-friend from a former job died last night, via facebook. i was looking for something else and saw that she had "posted" about her own death. confused I checked with with a mutual friend, and he confirmed. i've been a mess ever since. i'm surprised no one's asked what's wrong. (oddly enough, trying to do this a third time and on an actual computer, this is the best I've been yet.) we're also thoroughly crazy and frustrated at work, i'm hormonal...it's a wreck. i wouldn't be surprised if half my grief is really for my great-aunt who died over the summer.

basically...i don't know. yesterday morning she posted about being at work w/a sore throat. half a day later her husband was posting that she died. it's unreal.

Sounds like lupus maybe? Same sort of thing happened to a co-worker's wife.

Sounds like you've had reasons to have a good cry, this was just the straw that broke the camel's back.

Oh bebe, I'm so sorry for your loss *big hugs* My Heart goes out to you. Please let me know if I can do anything for you, okay?

Prayers for your former co-worker, her husband and family, and all her loving kin and kith. For you also, friend. God bless you and hold you close in your grief, because if you didn't love, you wouldn't mourn.

*hugs back* I believe you're right...I was so ready to be there.

I dunno if it was lupus. Her husband hasn't said, and while lupus rings bells I'm not sure if that's a genuine bell in the distance or, y'know, lupus-from-House or something crazy.

Thanks for the hugs.

Thanks so much, Jag. I'm okay right now. It's hard to talk about though, or think on too much. I came home wanting to crawl into bed and sleep sleep sleep, but I felt better after food. I still have a tension headache, though.

*hugs back*

Thanks so much for the prayers. I'd meant to post on my facebook for folks to remember the family. We're all of an age, and we're all relatively young, and they have a very young son. I can't begin to imagine what he and the rest of the family are going through.

*HUGS* It's been my experience that when it hits, I'm grieving for everything all at once. Take all the time you need to deal, sweetie.

You're welcome! Nothing wrong with crying :)

Yeah, I just figured lupus cause its a weird disease.. starts with something little and next thing you know everything's failing.
