If only she hadn’t stayed out all night, she wouldn’t be falling asleep at work. One of her friends, Tracy, discovered her asleep in front of the Ladies room. Her head used the door as a hard pillow. Tracy poked Donna three, four times. Then, she just slipped to the floor. Really, she wasn’t asleep. She was dead. At some point that morning she died not by murder just by a natural death. It took quite a while for her office friends, supervisor and family and friends to believe what happened and try to make sense of the fact that life is fragile. Her parents especially found it difficult saying “we always knew our deaths would come before our daughter’s death. We can’t wrap our mind around it without feeling sad, lonely and guilty. Why are we here, and she’s gone?

‘Her head used the door as a hard pillow’… I like that.
