My step daughter was found dead in her sleep last night. I got the news from my oldest step daughter who got a call from her father, who stated he found her when he came home from work. We do not know the exact cause of death yet, but the coroner said there was no immediate evidence of foul play or suicide.
This thread is dedicated to my step daughter who will be missed dearly.
Thank you for reading.
I'm sorry to hear of this tragic and terrible news, albn.. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and I can not begin to say how you and yours must feel losing a child. Again, you and your family will be in my prayers..
Oh albn. I'm so sorry. How old was she? :(
My condolences to you and your family.
She was 18. She had her whole life ahead of her. She was a good kid, people liked her. My question is, why now?Quote:

You probably don't believe, but I do, so I shall have a mass said for her.........
It is very bad when they die that young, even if you don't know them, there is still that feeling of loss?.................wasted potential and opportunities.........
I have buried a lot of my relatives, but they were in their 80's and 90's............that is a lot different IMHO.
:(
I heard it on irc the other day.
Jack, I'm truly sorry my friend. If I could releave any pain ....
Keep strong. You know where to find me if necessary.
Cheers.
Shrekkie.
Absolutely terrible, my sincere condolences.
i am so sorry and as i writte this answer my tears just flow.
i dont know you and probably will never meet you but 3 days ago was my father aniversary.He died when he was 28 and i was 4 and half and my mum was pregnant 6 months with my sister.
It is undiscrabable to tell you how i feel when i hear that somone so young so full of life and potential goes.
Reminds me everyday to appreciate life and everyone around me, doesnt matter the race, colour or gender.All our values in life and priorites change overnight.
All this superpowers and wars and bullshit is just what it is: bullshit, waste of time and resources.
Life is so beautiful but it can be so damn cruel.
It doesnt pass the day when i dont ask myself why me???why my dad?why so young??What did i do to deserve it so young?
But life has to go on.There are always billion people who are in worse situation then me.
So have to stay and look positive, its no the other way.
I have two kids 7 and 9 yrs old and i try to be the best dad i can be in the world.
But being father i feel terrible thinking of you and your situation.
I wish to express my condolences to you and your family and all your friends.
My saying in life:
EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
Take care my friend
She believes, and was a Catholic. Her services will be held Weds. at the local Church. So mass will be held there, and I appreciate your prayers.Quote:

Thanks, Nihil.
Damn Jack...
I wish I'd be around the last few days... my thoughts are with you and yours...
You know I'm always here if you wanna talk...
Take Care,

The cause of death was found. After a long investigation, it was found her liver was not processing oxycontin correctly for her migraines. Therefore, a toxic level was the result of her death.
No foul play or suicide was ruled.
Either way, she got her new headstone, and gets visits from her family and friends.
It is hard to believe it is almost a year since she passed away, and Christmas is going to be very hard. It was hard enough with mothers' day, birthdays and the like. However, we have warm thoughts and memories when she was around.
May you rest in peace honey.
Hi Donk~
Sorry, but thanks for the feedback.............just checked my list, and she is there.
November is "All Souls" in the Christian Faith.......I will put her in the books and she will be prayed for every day.
Naturally, a Mass will be said.

Jack, I'm very very happy for you that it was ruled not a suicide. I know that your pain is still horrible, but what a relief it would be to me to know she didn't choose to end her own life. And since she was Catholic, I know that's a really really big deal to them. I'm very glad for you. I hope knowing the cause of her death gives you some peace of mind.
nihil, thanks. Yeah, her mom's side of the family who is devout Catholic is doing mass for her as well, so the more the better I suppose. As for her dad's side of the family, they are agnostic and coping with it in their own way. To what ends, I am not too sure, because I have little contact with them. According to my wife, her ex tends to hold it all in, but everybody deals with it differently and I cannot judge that.
As for the immediate family here, I am agnostic, but respect her religion and follow the rituals required in her faith. These days, I have been questioning my faith anyway, because death does that kind of thing, you know?
Debs: Yes, it is still very fresh, and seems like it happened yesterday. I have been talking about this with my shrink, and he suggested family counseling for grief. It has not happened yet, but we will do it when the time is right.
Thanks once again for reading.
I'm so sorry Jack.
I don't even know what to say. If theres anything I can do, let me know.
my ex-gf OD'd on heroin on her bed...
life is a MF'er, i feel for you, keep your head up
Damn, it really gets to me when kids die before their parents, i think thats the hardest thing for parents to go through, I'm sorry albn. :-(
Sorry about your loss. My families heart goes out to you.
Jack, I'm not really sure what to say to that... How do you say anything that would make anyone feel better after that? It may actually help you out if you write a song on your bass as a dedication. I've heard from people that doing that seems to help them feel a little better. Just an idea of course. *Hug*
OK Jack.............
Hunmanby in North Yorkshire........... about 11th. century church........ they are in........... Church of England..........sorry about that.......the Catholic stuff will happen anyway.
I spoke with Hindu and Jain friends today............they send their condolonces........ as do the Sikhs (a beautiful couple).............. I shall speak with my Islamic friends, but, to be honest with you, they will have it in their book, just as I did..................
:(
Ah, thanks for the thoughts and suggestions gore and nihil. Greatly appreciated.
