I'm out for a while

I have a group of friends that are lifelong. Literally. It's over 53 years that we have all been together. We grew up together riding horses, we partied together in our 20's, weddings, showers, babies, playdates, and to this day, we have a daily group text going. We vacation together every year (last year we went on 2 vacations together), we go out to dinner or have dinner at someone's house 1-2 times per month. These are women who know me better than anyone ever could or will. I literally love these ladies, they might not be blood but they are my sisters.
The one woman, Sue, her ex-husband had back surgery and has been sick for weeks after, since before Christmas. They were close, have a son together. She made him go to the hospital, in an ambulance, he was so sick. The hospital screwed around and only finally did an MRI on his spine last week. Yeah, it was really, really bad. He had a massive infection in his spine, where the surgery was done. He was a diabetic, they should have checked his surgery for an infection first thing.
He passed away yesterday at 3:30 in the afternoon, his son and daughter-in-law were with him. This should never, ever have happened. The healthcare system in this country is so freaking broken, people are dying because of it.
Thanks for understanding.

I am so sorry for her loss, for the loss of everyone who loved him 
And I'm sorry and angry that this happened because of wrong treatment and worse, no treatment, that was in need.
The healthcare system is broken almost everywhere, it doesn't matter where on earth one is
Please give my condolences to his family and friends < 3

Wed, Jan 22Thank you. It was hard, he was terribly ill and suffered greatly before he passed. He was the first in our circle of friends to pass away, so it as quite a shock.
Beautiful Misfits

Wed, Jan 22Of course, even if you know, that a soul will go, it's still a shock and it takes time, often a very long time, to deal with it.
And it's not for everyone a help, that the soul will never die and that our beloved one are always around us.
One need to believe it, otherwise it would only be a fairy tale.
