Hey...on August 20th of 2012, my twin sister passed away [age 20].
It was a normal night and I was getting ready to go to bed when my sister who has had a lot of medical issues like HHT [a condition that weakens blood vessels] was in the living room. She started coughing and woke my parents up who went to check on her. She got up off of the couch to walk to the kitchen after saying she was alright...and immediately collapsed on the floor unconscious. I heard my parents yelling "call 911!" so I ran out of my bedroom to see my sister on the floor...I ran over to her and put my arm on her but she didn't respond and at that very moment I saw a bunch of blood gush out of her nose and mouth...an image that I will live with forever.
I ran outside in my pajamas to await the ambulence. They arrived and shocked her heart twice on the floor but couldn't get it started. She was bleeding profusely from her mouth. She then went into a seizure and all I could do was watch...
She was pronounced dead that night at the hospital...
This is so hard to deal with...she was my ONLY sibling...not only that...but my twin. We were best friends and I miss her so much. I can't get those images out of my mind and sometimes I will wake up in a panic with flash backs.....and certain things also trigger flash backs.
It was such a shock to us because none of us were expecting it...she seemed to be doing fine....and then BAM...gone.
I miss her so much.
