I don't normally post these but today was awful. My 62 year old coworker went into cardiac arrest this morning at work. It was terrible. I'd hoped she was going to pull through. Unfortunately she passed away. This was completely unexpected and traumatic.

I know prayer requests for her aren't going to help her, but if you can think about her family. She has left a husband 2 kids and 5 grandkids. Her grandkids adored her and I know are going to take this very hard. It's also going to be very hard for us to get back to normal at our workplace. She had worked there for over 15 years.

Thanks for your support in this.
 
Praying for all of you! Hang in there!
 
Katie,

I am so sorry, that is horrible. Will pray for her family and for you. :(
 
I'm so sorry. I've prayed for you and for her family.
 
I am so sorry, for all of you. When something traumatic like that happens and you see it-it seems to stay with you for a very long time. I will pray for all of you but please remember to pray for yourself as well. Take care of yourself too. Hugs.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss! What an awful thing to witness. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends, including her co-workers!!
 
Oh my! How horrible. I will say a prayer for her loved ones, friends and family. Hope you are feeling better soon as well.
