When my daughters 18 year old friend died suddenly with no warning, everyone was stunned and upset, such a young life on the verge of scooting off to uni. Who knows when our last day, hour minute might be! This year has been a particularly bad one for us with people passing away, My Aunt died earlier in the year of cancer, and although she was in her eighty's it still cut her life short! Another Two deaths we have had were the sudden passing of my old crewmate, who went home from work one day, went to bed and literally didn't get up in the morning. This was a huge shock to me as we had worked together for the first 18 months of my ambulance service career. He wasn't everybody's cup of tea but he was a loyal crewmate and a good friend, we kept in contact even though I have transferred into another NHS trust area, all be it, mainly random phone calls. The other a friend who had tumours on his brain and decided to take his own life rather than have his family watch him slowly regress!
Most people hope for a long prosperous and healthy life but how many actually get that?
I for one am hoping that next year brings less heartache and more peace and happiness!
