First off, mods I know this may be off subject, but the people on this board is like family to me and I really need to vent to them if its ok.
Hi, guys, I couldnt sleep tonight for some reason, and I just got a call that my fisrt cousin just passed away minutes ago. I guess what I can gather is that he was complaining of chest pain and by the time the paramedics got him to the hospital he did not make it.

I know this is not back related but at this hour I did not know who to turn to, my parents are out of town and I am here with my daughter and 2 young adult siblings. This is the second death in a week that I am aware of the other was a friend of mines boyfriend, just a couple years older than I I am 32 and he suddley he got sick of something unknown and just past away last week.

You know as I lay here tonight tossing and turning, now I know why, I have to give thanks and praise to God! You know it kinda makes me put my life in perspective and be thankful just to be here with my family, instead of me moaning so much. Thank you guys for allowing me to vent to you and I am sorry if I upset anyone with my story, I just needed someone thats all.

May God Bless and Keep each and everyone of you, love all of you, many ((((((((((((((cyber hugs)))))))))))))):(

Sending you a big hug KK ((( ))). I was just checking in this morning, saw your post. I understand your pain, I lost my uncle to a sudden heart attack and the loss is unbearable. I share in you tears this morning. May god bring peace to you and everyone who is missing their loved ones today. I hope your back is feeling ok today. Must go. Hope you stay strong for your family today, they need you.

kk, my heartfelt sympathies go out to you. To lose someone is difficult but to lose someone so young is worse. May it help to know that others are praying for you and your family during this time of sadness.

KKomon,

I am so sorry to hear your news. I hope that you are still up and receive the comforting posts from your friends here on the board. It does make you grateful for the things we have, there is someone always worse off I know. KK you seem to have great faith, and it is that will get you through this most difficult time. I will be thinking of you and your family.

I lost my mum aged 63 2 years ago and there isnt aday that goes by that I dont cry or think of her, I miss her so so much and wish she was still with me. I know what you are going thru. To me my mum was young and younger at heart, she got skin cancer Melaneoma the size of a fingernail removed and given the all clear, five years on felt unwell, gone to the liver and died within 8 weeks.

KK my thoughts and prayers go out to you. HUGS

You have certainly had your hands full. Remember we are here for you.

I am so sorry on your lost... this is very hard.

I am glad that you are thinking how blessed you are to be here and be a mommy to your daughter, to have your parents alive, to have a family...
Usually moments like this do reality check, is in it? And we all start to appreciate more what we have and how good we have to compare to others who is less fortunate and can't be here with us....
(((( ))))

KK, sending you some big hugs your way. Sometimes it takes times like these for us to say that our lives are not all that bad. I'll hold you in my thoughts during this times.

Take care.

Sorry for your loss. I just lost my stepsister alittle over a month ago and she was only 47, and she left two young children behind with no dad. Things like this are tragic, but out of it, often comes some good. It does give us reflection of being alive, regardless of how much pain or joy we have in our lives.

I live everyday with the notion it may possibly be my last. I don't walk around on a cloud (though it would be very cushy and plain awesome!), but I do appreciate life and the people I encounter and share my life with each day.

A healthy state of mind is sooooooo powerful in the game of life in general, but also in the power to heal.

All the best.. Tam:wave:
