morgan_dhu | Morgan is gone

This is Glaurung, Morgan_dhu's partner.

She didn't post here often, but just in case there are friends here who were not following her on Facebook, I am very sorry to report that after months of worsening illness, Morgan died on Friday May 3rd. I think she died in her sleep.

Something started going wrong with her kidneys shortly after the surgery to remove her kidney stones last fall. Her edema ballooned out of control, and the swollen tissue became extraordinarily painful. She could not lie down to be transported any longer, so we were not able to find out what had gone wrong or if it could be corrected. Around April 18th, she stopped being able to read, game, watch TV, or surf the net - the pain made a wall between her and the world, and all she could do was suffer or sleep. Fortunately we were able to give her drugs that helped her spend most of her time sleeping.

I'm glad it went so quickly and was over so soon. I miss her more than words can say.

I am so very sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry for your loss and hope you are getting the help you need through this difficult time. Be gentle on yourself. You gave her a much longer life and on her own terms than she would have had on her own and now it's time to take care of yourself. I will miss her.
