My 33 year old cousin, Audrey, is in a coma after suffering a severe stroke and she's unlikely to survive. Allow me a moment to say a few words about her.
Her entire life has been spent in chronic pain. From birth, she had severe type 1 diabetes, and many of the attempted remedies, surgeries and medications weakened her system and caused a domino of health consequences. In her early 20's she had to quit working from chronic pain and medical issues. Her hair, skin, and teeth all suffered. She met someone and fell in love, but then was diagnosed with gastropareisis. She would post on social media about her medical journey, her support for others with her illness, and would mourn fellow sufferers as they died far too young.
She was in so much pain, her whole damn life. Its so unfair. She was never negative, or down about her illness. When we were kids, I thought she was stunningly beautiful. She has a strong resemblance to Winona Ryder, I always thought. I'm glad she found love so her last several years she had more support.
I hope this isn't entirely self serving and that hearing about others struggles offers an appreciation for all that we have.
If you're the type to send out a thought or a prayer to a stranger, she could use one. Thank you.
