it never rains it pours

Just a note that I need to take time from the group as (Linda's) daughter who is 22 and lives here with her brother and I, has been admitted to ICU with blood clots in her lungs. This happened after doctors dismissing her complaints for weeks as stress. On Sunday she was so sick she ended up in ICU. Many tests yesterday and today. Hopefully, we will know a lot more but we do know that she has "multiple clots". She will be cleared from ICU when the crisis has passed and will maybe spend more than a week in the medical wing. She has been sliding into a depressive state lately and all of us have been working very hard to pull her out. She was not only a daughter but also Linda's best friend and extremely close tp her mom. I have attempted to get her to coucilling many times over but no buy-in.... and what scares the hell out of me is I hope this isn't some kind of death wish.
Linda may have entered this world as a warm summer breeze but she sure left like a hurricane. The feelings of loss in her wake have been overwhelming but ....... I don't think any of us really have the luxury of giving up so.... there's business I have to take care of and will check in later.

Keep kickin' ass ladies because you owe it to yourselves and your families.
