Yesterday morning i had to witness one of my friends and also my landlords daughter dead.
Yesterday morning i had arrived home at about 8:30AM from being out all night and jsut as i went to sit down i heard a loud pounding on my back door. When i opened the door it was my landlord saying that sheila((the daughters name)) had fallen in the bathroom and she wasent answering her. So i raced up the stairs into her apartment and tried opening the bathroom door. It would budge. SHeila was wedged against it, so i started banging and yelling for her to answer me to give me a sign she was ok, i then told her mom to call 911 because i wasent getting a response. When the paramedics arrived, they were able to get her out of the bathroom, but when they did that myself and her mother were sitting in the living room, luckily i was the only one who saw sheila as they dragged her out. Her face was blue and her eyes were fixed and dilated. My friend lay there dead on the floor and i knew it. Her mother did not see what i did thankfully, for she is 87 and i dont think she could have handled it. They worked on her for over 20 minutes there on the floor then worked for another half hour at the hospital to no avail. I didnt have the heart to tell Mary my landlord that i knew her daughter was dead, so i let her think that sheila would be alright possibly and that she would be waiting for us at the hospital. But the moment we went through the doors into the emergency back area i knew right then and there that she was definitly dead, they passed all the room and led us into a consultation room where the confirmed my fears. They couldnt get sheila back at all, she had died. I have been crying now for over 24 hours and i dont think it is going to stop. I miss her dearly, even though she was old enough to be my mother (57) she was still my friend. I will miss her forever
