I know you're sorry, hon - and I don't mean to be yelling at you or acting nasty - so I hope you didn't take it that way.. I'm just beside myself here and acting like an idiot..

Really, I do appreciate your concern.. I thank you from the bottom of my heart - honest...

Hugs back at ya..
C.Ann

So very sorry C.Ann for this painful, tragic loss for your DD and all of you.

C.Ann I am so sorry. I have no words of comfort except to let you know that and your DD are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so glad that posted this. I myself am "pooh-size", heavy, obese, what have you. This was certainly an eye opener to me. I have joined WW and am will try my best to do what I can to make my life a healthier one.

C.Ann, if you were yelling I didn't hear it. I hear a very hurt and angry mom. And with good reason. I'd probably strangle someone myself if I were in your shoes. I understand completely.

It was probably too soon to mention anyway. I just don't want that family's cruelty to hurt you more than it already has. But it will take time I know.

 

[poohandwendy]

Oh C Ann I am so sorry to hear that she lost the battle. Sometimes our bodies just can't go on, but she is at peace now...no more family struggles, no more pain. The pain is for those left behind to bear. It will be very hard for you and your DD. I understand your anger.

I will keep you and your DD in my thoughts and prayers during this very, very difficult time.

I was away for the weekend, and just saw the update to this thread. I am very sorry for your loss.
As I told you, there really is no good outcome in this type of situation. Just prolonging of suffering, She is at peace now... try to look at it that way.

I am sure she knew your DD was there. And I do believe she knows now how you all loved her.

If this post will help you in any way at all, then perhaps some good can come of this tragic loss of such a young life.. I really struggled with myself as to whether or not it was appropriate to post about this - I was so fearful that some folks might see it as criticism or bashing or worse yet, lecturing - but I was so totally blown away by this - on a personal level - it made me stop and wonder if people who struggle with weight problems
ever realized that something as tragic as this could happen at such a YOUNG age.. I know I sure didn't! Neither did my DD or the young woman that lost her life.. I still can NOT believe that this has really happened.. It saddens me beyond belief..

However, if it will help you - or anyone else - even just a teeny bit - then I'm glad I posted it, painful as it has been for me..

I wish you the best of luck - and will say an extra prayer that you are successful in your attempt to make your life a healthier one..

My prayers go out to you and your DD. To think that such obvious and flagrant violations of federal laws and patients rights by a health care provider, which ultimately resulted in the death of a young lady took place is scary. The participation in breaking the laws and ignoring a patients wishes and rights by all the doctors, nurses and hospital administrators because of the antics of a jonny-come-lately father is even scarier. You would thnk that the hospital would have a patients right advocate on hand to put a stop to all this.
If it would help you and your DD, maybe you should contact your elected representatives and your local newspaper and inform them of the travesties that took place. Doing this in the memory of your DD's friend may ease the pain. You may save someones life. At the very least, you may save someone the pain and anguish you are going through. I hope God guides you through this tragedy and gives you strength.

I have a very heavy set friend (over 600 pounds, maybe closer to 700 pounds). She can barely walk, barely breath, has severe asthma... a few years back she and her husband ate 2 supersize value meals each, plus a few other things (the McD's breakfast burrito stands out... b/c he ate 4 on top of the value meals).

My heart breaks for her. She could do the surgery (she has excellent health coverage) or a dietition and just won't. My fear is it will come down to something like this.


My thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter....

 

[treesinger]

My condolences. I just can't imagine.

 

[LauraR]

C.Ann, I feel so bad for your DD and for you. It just makes me sick thinking of how the fear and pain your daughter went through, knowing her friend was so ill, was compounded by that family's callousness. And now the raw pain of losing her.... I am so, so sorry. I can understand the feelings of anger and resentment---I guess the only consolation is to think of your DD's friend in a place where there is no pain and suffering. But I know how much this must hurt for your daughter. I hope she'll be O.K.

--------------------------

They wouldn't even allow her to see her right after she passed.. She begged and pleaded and they said NO - yet they remained in the hospital with this young woman for an additional 3 hours.. Five minutes in life - five minutes after death? A flat out NO..

Reminds me of a poem that I read years and years ago:

Give me a minute?
A minute is cruel..
It challenges the wise man
And shows up the fool...

Lifetimes are changed
Some cancelled out...
All in that "minute"
That seemed not to count.............

 

[LauraR]

I'm just sitting here shaking my head. That just breaks my heart that they wouldn't let your daughter see her friend one last time. They must have hard, cold stones where their hearts belong.

 

[Teris]

C.Ann,, you need to consider the idea of you and your daughter going to a grief counciler. What you have had to go thru with your daughter, is something no one should have to go thru. Your daughter did what her friend wanted to the best she was able. Screw this other family,, they have to live with themselves. Now is the time to take care of each other. I hope your hearts are able to heal soon.

 

[snoopy]

Oh no. How sad. I'm sorry, C.Ann.
