I had so share this with someone other than my family. My husband doesn't want anyone in our community to know just yet...which I don't get but that's another topic for another day.

She woke up Thursday morning with the worst headache of her life. It definitely was something that made everyone worried, but she refused to go to the doctor. By the afternoon, my FIL had enough and told her basically to get her butt to the doctor. My SIL and youngest BIL took her to the clinic and from there they sent her to the hospital ASAP. Shortly after arriving at the hospital she went unconscious. Here's where the story gets shady but I think she may have slipped into a coma. She was supposedely hooked up to monitors and everything look good. They told them that she was improving but she died Friday morning. I think she had a brain aneurysm. The problem is they won't say how she died and they gave the family false hope the whole time. They never did any imaging to see if there was blood in her brain. The only comfort to our family is that she wasn't in any prolonged state of pain and it progressed quickly. She is blessed to have died on Jumuah surrounded by her children and husband...she was only 67.

My youngest BIL called late Thursday night but didn't leave a message. We didn't talk to him until the morning after she had died. My husband left to Algeria Friday night and was there to assist in her burial on Saturday.

I am still in shock because my FIL has been sick and we expected this call about him not her. She never got to meet our youngest son and I think that is the biggest guilt my husband is dealing with. On the way to the airport, I told him that I was sorry he had to go home under these circumstances but happy that this happened now(with his citizenship final) instead of 6 years ago when he was a virtual prisoner in the US while his asylum was pending.

I appreciate if anyone can send some prayers our way if they feel so inclined.

I am so terribly sorry for your family's loss, and the increased stress, and guilt, and other conflicted feelings that are exacerbated in situations where one lives so far away from the majority of their family. I hope and pray your family finds some comfort, peace, and solace.
