Senseless Death

As I am writing this, I am not sure what I will name it. Today was the funeral of a co-worker of mine for 15 years. She was 54 years old. A nice lady who hadn't been feeling well. On July 3, she didn't go to a picnic her son was having, saying she didn't feel well. On July 4th, she called her son and daughter-in-law to take her to the hospital. By the time they got her there, she collapsed and died. An autopsy was done, and it was found she had a hernia that burst and poisoned her body.
Well, I found out, she knew she had this hernia for a couple of years now, and just didn't go have it taken care of. It was a totally senseless death. Her son is so angry. I feel so sorry for him. He has had to be medicated. Him and his wife are expecting a daughter next month. Brenda was so looking forward to this grandchild.
I am mad at her, also. but, am also hoping that people realize they need to get into the doctor when things aren't right. It could save their lives.
So many things could have been different. If she had called 911 instead of calling her son, she might have been saved. if she had went to the doctor and had this taken care of, she would still be with us also. So many if's, but too late for her.

Starting

Let's see. My first blog ever. This will be more of a journal I guess. A place to put my thoughts. Things that happen day to day and what I am thinking. What is going on in my life and how I feel about what is happening. Both in my life and in the world.
