Something unexpected
Mar. 27th, 2004 10:10 am*sits silently at the keyboard for a moment, contemplating in silence*
Somebody I know tried to commit suicide.
She's a memeber of AGUA and she has a daughter about nine years old who also is autistic.
She took a bunch of pills in the back of her car and now she's in a coma. She's been in the coma for over a month now. I just found out about it today.
She told some people she thought were her friends that she was going to commit suicide. They did nothing. They didn't tell her parents or do anything. Her parents only found out when they filed a missing person's report and the police found her.
And now she's in a coma, and there's something wrong with her brain. From what my mom says it doesn't sound like she's going to wake up.
I'm sitting her thinking about this, in mild shock. I keep on thinking back about eight years ago when my brother tried to commit suicide.
I didn't even know until months later, when my parents told me. They thought I knew.
I didn't.
I got so scared. The thought of never seeing my brother again just terrified me. And now this is bringing back all the ugly memories.
My mom wants to take a few people from Agua to go see her. Apparently she might be able to hear people talking to her. I don't want to go. It scares me too much.
