A woman that lives in the building I work at died today. The building has offices downstairs and apartments upstairs. There is a lobby area with a couch. It is not unusual to occasionally see residents lounging on the couch. I went past the lobby to go to the restroom. A woman was on the couch. It looked like she was stretching. I think I was the last to see her alive. One minute later while walking back I saw her dead. We called 911. One of my co-workers knows and tried CPR. There was no pulse. The rescue people came. They continued CPR, but I think they were going to pronounce her dead at the hospital. I feel so bad. What I thought was stretching might have been some sort of seizure, or maybe she was reaching out for help, and I just walked by. Please pray for her and her family. I'll always regret that I didn't stop and say, "hi," instead of just assuming everything was OK because she might have gotten CPR sooner and been saved.
