wmw999 2,452 #1 February 16, 2005 A regular dz.commer, Chris Muenkel, lost a dear friend in a sudden, completely unexpected heart attack in the last week. She was 39, and in the shower. Her husband had a mild heart attack from the shock. Both Chris, and his friend Dave, need vibes right now; Chris is a sounding board and just "there" guy, which is a wonderful thing to have at a time like this. But it's draining, also. So -- vibes and prayers to both of them. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #2 February 16, 2005 Oh my God - that's so awful. It's hard enough to lose someone when it's expected, but this... Chris, you have all the vibes I've got to help you and Dave with your own grief and the grief of your friends. (((HUGS))) you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #5 February 16, 2005 Thanks. Dave and Lisa are my closest friends. Dave was helping Lisa take a shower because she had broken her ankle a week before. The heart attack came on suddenly. The EMT's were able to revive her briefly. At the hospital, Dave suffered a minor heart attack due to a sudden spike in his blood pressure caused by the shock. He's a runner, so he is in good cardio health. Dave and Lisa were in the process of adopting a child because they couldn't have one of their own. I'm glad no children are involved. As I told Wendy, it's tough to balance your own grief and be there for your friend who really has the bigger burden. I've read the Josh Whipple thread and I can truly understand what his friends are feeling. My sympathies go out to them at this most painful time. Thanks folks, Chris _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #6 February 16, 2005 Chris, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Such a sudden loss has to be very hard to handle. We're all here for you, though, anytime you need to talk or PM. Was the ankle in any way related to the heart attack? Blood clot, perhaps? You don't have to answer that. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
