My friend just rang me from work and I got from her "are you sitting down??" So I sat down and said "yes".

She told me that a girl I worked with passed away yesterday - they had to turn her life support machine off . She was at work (the hospital of all places) and just stopped breathing.

The sad thing was she was pregnant and due in May. There are rumours that the baby was delivered by c section but stil don't know if that is true.

Now i'm sitting here meant to be all excited as Nigel is coming home in a few hours and all i'm doing is crying . I just can't believe it, we spoke a few weeks ago about her using cloths on her baby and I gave her a whole heap of info and some brand names to get her started.

Stink thing is that her tangi is probably going to be over in the Hawkes Bay and I won't be able to go to it

Oh Becks that is really awful. It brought tears to my eyes.

I hope you still manage to enjoy your first night with DH. At least he's there to kiss you better.

Wow that's really sad. Do they know what her cause of death was? Sounds like it was pretty sudden.

Man, I'm so sorry to hear that. What an absolute tragedy



Like freesia said, I hope that bubba made it.

Good timing that your DH is coming home, he can give you lots of hugs and kisses.
Tell him to give you a great big hug from all of us

Morning Becks, How did you get on through the night? I'm glad Nigel was home so you weren't on your own. It is just so awful hearing news like that, her poor family.

Thanks all. I have heard the the baby was delivered and is now in the NICU (as she was only 6 months pregnant). Still waiting to hear about tangi arrangements, I so want to go but don't think I can (damn petrol prices).

I was so glad Nigel came home last night I think I would of been a wreck if not.

I had another person ring me and tell me last night as she was worried about me as we were really good friends at work.

Well bad news her little girl passed away on Thursday night. Wasn't nice at all. It is nice that she is with her mummy but it would of ben nice to have a part of her here with her daddy.

Yeah the dad is around they were married he is doing as well as you can imagine. They had the Tangi today - but I couldn't get over there for it. But next time I do go to the Hawkes Bay I am so going to visit their grave.
