Impending death of a friend... - 04/11/07 03:20 AM
I know. There seems to be a lot of death being discussed in this section lately. But tonight I just got told that a friend who's been in the hospital recently - a friend who's almost been in the hospital more than she's been out of it - has been given 2-6 months.
She's had two liver transplants since she was 14, and now her spleen is enlarged, her kidneys are failing and so is her liver.
She's only about my age: 23-24. I'm kinda finding this hard to take in. I'm sad, but it's hard to imagine someone my age dying of something like this. Easier to imagine them dying in a car crash - easier if you haven't seen them in a while... (like the younger sister of my brother's best friend I mentioned in another post).
Has anyone else dealt with a friend dying of something like this?
