Stay at Home Moms

Thoughts and prayers please:(

I'm asking for my cousin and her 5 year old son.  She's 23 and a single mom who recently went back to school for criminal justice.  She was very excited to start a new chapter in her life.  To save money on rent and daycare, she lived with her mom and stepdad. 

Early this morning her mom, my aunt, unexpectedly had a heart attack and passed away. She was 53.  She was a terrific mom, awesome sister and a kick-a** aunt.  Truth be told, she was my favorite aunt.  She was born with spina bifida and wasn't expected to live into her teen years much less give birth to a child (she was told it was impossible).  She got along with damn near everyone and our kids just loved her.  She doted on her daughter and only grandson. She helped my mom with caring for my grandma.

We're devastated.  Shocked.  Numb.  My heart breaks for my cousin as I don't know what she'll do now.  She does not get along with her stepdad at all.  I'm worried for my mom.  She has so much going on already with my sister and BIL moving and this has got to be crushing her.  She and my aunt were SO close.  We picked up my younger sister earlier and mom will stop by to get her later so hopefully we'll know more then.  

Please send some thoughts and prayers for my cousin...I feel horrible for sometimes thinking that she needed to grow up and take care of herself...not like this though:(

    I am so sorry! Wow, you are dealing with so much right now!

    It sure feels like it.  It has just been a rough summer...our truck rollover, my sister moving, other family issues, now my aunt passing. Plus there have been so many fatal tragedies locally with house fires and accidents.  It seems that every day in our  local news there is another fatality.  Today has been very trying and I am emotionally exhausted....  I am going to miss my aunt tremendously:(
