I'm so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself.

Mary, :hug: I'm so sorry! It's so painful and frightening when we lose people who are so young! It always makes me face my own mortality.
I think that the main reason for me starting this journey all over again is because I just turned 30, and I'm scared. My dad died when he was 44.

Please take care of your heart, and vent here all you need to...we are here for you. Hearing this makes me feel even more committed to succeeding in this battle.

Oh my...that's so heartbreaking. :(

You and the families of the young people who have passed are all in my prayers. It's terrifies me to hear that young people are having heart attacks like this.

Thank you guys SO MUCH for the overwhleming show of support. I am feeling alot better today..trying to find solace in the fact that I hope she and her mother are togethr now, giggling away.

You guys really mean alot to me...this is a rare sort of community filled with undying positivity and support.

I am sorry you are going through such a painful time, while it is difficult... don't let the negativity consume you and don't dwell on death. Remember life, celebrate it while it's there and then again when it's gone. And always, which is what I do, turn inward and outward to those in your life and remember love.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Now is not the time to beat yourself up over food, there is always tomorrow to get focused again. Take time for your grief.

I'm so sorry to hear about this, Mary.

Grief is one of the hardest emotions to understand, I think.Thank you for reaching out for support, it is a hard time for you right now. My condolences to you and your mother. Grief is hurt at the maximum, and your body/mind demanded comfort.. choosing food for comfort helped, reaching to your mom, helped talking to this board helped. Someone up list suggested writing to your friends family. I agree. You write beautifully and I am sure they would appreciate the memories you could share.

I suggest you also find a candle that represents your friend, light it each day and think of her for as long as you would like. I suggested this to my clients when they were grieving and it usually helped them. If I can help in any other way please feel free to private message me.

:hug:Hang in there Mary!
