HGP Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 This thread is really hitting home for me. My girlfriend died only a few days ago. She had juvenile diabetes and she died in her sleep. We hadn't been together long, but we were friends with some history for two years before we finally ended up together. Her diabetes was pretty severe and she didn't expect to live to be old. She said that what time she had she wanted to spend with me. That was literally the night before she died. Neither of us thought it would be this soon. She was only 30. The hardest part is thinking that I could have done something, since I was with her when it happened. But I'm only now wrapping my mind around how bad her disease was and that no matter how much she took care of herself, this was inevitable. At least I was with her and her last waking hours were happy. I think the worst thing you can do is keep to yourself at times like this. I've found comfort in talking about it - to family and friends, her family, even the police. My thoughts go out to everyone here. Nothing's worse than losing somebody in the prime of their life.
