Last night at 6:30 my life changed completely.
I was sitting on the couch watching TV when the phone rang. I saw it was Janet and Jennys house so I answered with a cheery hello. Jenny was on the other line and she said 'Amy?'. It sounded like she was crying. I asked what was wrong. She then said 'I think something happened' and I could tell something was seriously wrong because her speech was all slurred. I told her I'd be right there and proceeded to get Ethan together and called Janet to tell her something was wrong.
I got there just as they were breaking down the door to get into Jenny. She was talking to her neighbor through the door and said she couldn't get up. I looked into the living room and she was sitting on the floor with her back to their couch and she looked over and saw me. She waved. The right side of her face was drooping down. I said the only thing I could think of. I told her I loved her.
The paramedics took her to the hospital. By 6:30 this morning she was brain dead. 12 hours went by. That's it.
She had an aneurysm burst in her brain. She had severe bleeding on the brain that was causing a lot of pressure on her brain. Where the bleed was made it almost impossible to operate on. The only thing we could do was sit with her, talk to her, tell her how much we love her and let her go. She wasn't in pain. She looked like she was sleeping.
We decided to donate her organs. It was what she would have wanted and it gives us all a measure of peace knowing that her death will help others to live.
I still can't believe it and I honestly don't know what I'm going to do without her. She was only 35 years old. She was truly one of the kindest, gentlest people you could ever meet.
