It happened on December 5th while she, her husband, daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren, 18 & 20, were driving to the coast. She is very obese, severely diabetic, drinks too much and abuses sugar. She is paranoid and believes what her paranoia tells her. She hasn't let me close for a long time, even though I tried, especially after my sister- her mother died 15 years ago. I found out about the stroke from her brother. I talked to her daughter, but she was super stressed. She didn't want to talk to me much at the time. Bottomline is her heart was functioning at 15 percent, and she had two blood clots on her brain. Her brain was swelling and they had to get the pressure down or she would die. I remember when she was born and was such a cute smart little girl. I'm waiting to hear. I really don't think she's going to make it. It's brought up all kinds of issues and activated some PTSD from other family tragedies and how people behaved at that time. I've decided to let them contact me, since I've offered my support repeatedly. It reinforced the idea that I really have no family. It sucks.
