A friend of mine died in her sleep one week ago today. She was only 29 yrs old. The autopsy said she had a swollen brain, and low blood-sugar. She was not dignosed with anything before she died. How did she die? I want a lable. I need to know there was a reason why her children are without their mother.

Dear Revowski,

I am so sorry for your loss. (((hugs)))

This is something to discuss with a medical professional and I don't think anyone online can give you the answers you're looking for.

But even when you find the medical answer, if there is one, there is no real 'why' when someone so young loses their life so suddenly.

Be gentle with yourself.
