    Friend of my wife died last night, 32 years old, lived alone with her 9 year old daughter. Daughter got herself up and ready this morning, took herself to school and told them she couldn't wake mummy. Sometimes life is just an utter bastard. Sometimes it is on a big scale, sometimes on a small scale. But a bastard none the less.

      It may me 999 but I can guarantee they'd be no help on the other end of the line, due to the cuts etc.

        911 will work in the UK as well, so will the international emergency telephone number 112.

          That's so sad. Is there family who can take her in? My niece was 8 years old when her mother died (she was estranged from my brother in law). Georgia moved in with her father (who'd moved back in with his mother who's now 80), so she's effectively being looked after by a pensioner while her father works. It's been very hard on her, but luckily the school is very understanding and has been a great help to her. Whoever ends up looking after the girl should seek therapy for her. It's a traumatic enough experience for an adult - for a child it's hell.

          I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

            A child of a lone parent calls and says she can't wake her mother, and you think there'd be no response? Be serious.

                Commiserations to everyone and I hope the daughter gets the support she needs.

                      Sometimes when you hear and see some things, you wonder what the fuck is life up to. :confused: Those are the times when atheists can tell me "now explain this". 9 years old, and left alone in this world. My thoughts are with that child. :rose:

                      Life? Its a bitch. It doesnt give a god damn about anyone or anything. God doesnt exists, and if he is, he is a bastard anyway, so not much a god really. Life, enjoy it, love your friends and family, and dont take it too seriously, because you are going to be worm food one day anyway. :)

                        Exactly. You don't know when you are going to go, you don't know how, just that you will at some point. You can avoid every possible risk you can think of and some undetectable fault inside you may just turn you off with no warning. Appreciate what you have and live it.

                          Don't know yet, post mortem to come. She had been ill at the start of the week with sickness and diarrhoea, if it is related to that, if that weakened her and caused something else to go, allowed some other bug in, who knows at this point.
