I am actually at home today because I had a flare-up with my back again so I was taking the day off to rest so I could hopefully be back to normal soon. I got a call from a co-worker about an hour ago to tell me that a friend of mine from work just passed away - she didn't want me to hear about it on the news or something. She was only 43. 
She didn't show up for work this morning and some other co-workers went to her house and they found her. They called an ambulance but it apparently was too late. They said it looks like natural causes but that does not make it any easier.
I am just kind of numb. I have been so blessed in my life that I have never really lost anyone that I knew very well. I am just in shock and I can't believe it. We just went out to lunch on Tuesday and everything was so normal. She was such a wonderful and caring person. I will miss her terribly.
**UPDATE** Today was my first day back at work and it was so much harder than I thought it would be. I really am going to miss her. I went to a group grief counseling session today and it did help to know that others are feeling the same way and that others are also questioning if they missed any signs or trying to figure out if this could have been prevented. The think she worked last Thursday night and just barely got inside her door when she collapsed. The autopsy was going to be today so maybe we will know why by tomorrow. The visitation is on Wednesday and the funeral in on Thursday...it is going to be a very rough week.

So Sorry to hear.
