[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 444446, member: 1233"] What an awesome story. I am so sorry you lost your friend adn were never told about her. I know my mom lost her mom around that time and it was years after she died that mom learned what killed her. She spent several, a lot actually, years as a kid thinking that she killed her mom by being too noisy or demanding. I know her mom wouldn't want that. I never learned a lot about her until after J was born. I named my daughter after her and my aunt (mom's 15 yr older sister) called me in tears asking why I picked that name. She told me some really neat stuff that made me glad I picked the name - and it was stuff my mother still didn't know until I told her. That was how death was handled back then. I am glad that loss isn't handled that way now. In the 70's it wasn't much different. I had a friend who lived on the street an aunt lived on. She got a brain tumor and died and I never really knew what happened until I was an adult and talked with a neighbor on the old street. [/QUOTE]
