About Me
My beautiful daughter, Nina, died suddenly and unexpectedly. She had lost her first child, a daughter, only a few months earlier. My first daughter, Wendy, died at birth 36 years ago. I have two sons, Greg and Graeme, great lads, whom I love dearly. The three of them were so close it is hard on us all. Nina was a social worker with autistic children and adults. She was 33, nearly 34 when she died. Her organs were given up for transplant - her wishes - and saved four people from death. I am so proud of her.

Interests
When I am not thinking about Nina, I am worrying about my two sons. My eldest son, Greg (38), has now returned to Aus. from London since Nina's passing. He and his wife, Mariana had a beautiful little girl on April 6th whom they named Sienna Nina. Graeme (25) is dealing with Nina's death in his own way, but I am not sure if he is keeping his grief locked inside too much. I used to love gardening, but we are having a terrible drought in Australia and cannot water gardens. Just trying to get through each day as it comes. DS is my main support at the moment. Love you all.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildNina had a headache all day on Sunday 6th May 07, and then she collapsed. She had a massive anuerysm in her brain, which had burst. She was on life support for 3 days, but basically I think she died instantly, although her heart continued to beat because of life support. Her spirit left her body the next morning.
Treatments
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- Comes up with the littlelest prompting.
- Pets Somewhat Helpful
- A little rabbit appeared in the garden in January and is now so loving that it is quite unbelievable. Flopsy now has the run of the house and makes me smile.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- Praying ardently that Nina is happy and in a good place. And that nothing worse will happen.
- Support Groups Working / Worked
- I attended a seminar group run by Organ Donors SA. It was very helpful.
- Talking Working / Worked
- I NEED to talk about Nina, but many people do not want to. I notice them closing down when I bring her up. This site has saved my sanity. God bless you all.
- Time Too Soon to Tell
- I am sure that eventually I will be able to accept that she has gone, although I will never stop grieving for her. I must learn to live - somehow - without her physical presence, and I think that only time will help with this.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Helping, but dangerously addictive. This makes me nervous, but I am probably already hooked.
