Received some sad news.

[Crissy]

My cousin passed away yesterday. She had been HIV positive for about 13 years, and apparently the medications she was taking to prevent full-blown AIDS, along with some of her lifestyle choices, were tough on her liver.

She was only 40.

We weren't terribly close, but I feel awful for her mother (who I knew better than I knew my cousin).

If you think about it, would you say a prayer my cousin's parents (Mary and Ron)?

[Chris in CA]

Yes, my prayers are with them, so sad

[crazycoffeechic]

Praying here.

[Amy loves Bud]

Definitely, Crissy. Such sad news. I'm sorry.

[Twinmom]

Crissy, the idea that its the very drugs that we need in order to stave off a chronic disease that are the thing that ends up hurting us is very, very sobering indeed.

[DB in NJ]

Crissy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Of course I'll pray for your family :grouphug:

I should clarify, Myrtle, that her choice to continue drinking may have played a part in her liver failure. I do not know that the drugs alone would have caused the problems that ultimately ended her life.

[Jenny in Atl]

[Mamagistra]

So sorry to hear it. :grouphug:
