Dear friends on the DU, somebody close to me died in an in-home accident


Cindy was the mother of my first born. She suffered a fall in her home and bled to death. Cindy was living alone and there was nobody to help her.

Her family needs help with the funeral expenses. IF you can send a few dollars her way it will get put to good use. If not keep her in your thoughts and give this a kick.

I also live alone, so I can see how such an accident could occur. It is very sad, and I am so sorry for your loss.

Cindy hit her head in the fall. She never woke up. She was on blood thinners. That was how she bled to death.

She hit her head and was knocked out. She was on blood thinners. The gash on her head was the problem. The phone was right there.

I imagine that, after the spectacular job of fund-raising you have done for the election(s), the last thing you want to do is more. I hope this sad period in your life passes as quickly and as easily as possible.

These accidents can happen to anyone at any time. I had a coworker whose father fell head first into a glass coffee table, and that was it.
