May 19, 2024
Leeds, Yorkshire - A heartbroken Leeds woman has paid tribute to her mum who died suddenly. Debbie Graham suddenly lost her life on May 3 at the age of 50 after feeling unwell the day before. Her daughter, Amy Graham, told LeedsLive that Debbie, 50, from Seacroft, had a headache and a pain in her jaw but when she last saw her, she was "laughing and joking" and "back to her usual self." Amy said: "It was so unexpected. We're waiting for a post-mortem. She was a little unwell on the Thursday - we thought she had the flu as all her symptoms indicated that. She had a sleep during the morning and woke up in the afternoon and she was back to her normal self, saying she just had a headache and a pain in her jaw. On Friday morning I texted her to see what time I was going to pick up my niece from my grandmas but she didn’t reply so I asked my brother who lives with my mum to see if she was awake. He then called me to ask me to go home as he couldn’t wake her up and she was cold. She passed away during the night."

Thank you Mark for all the hard work and time you and your team put into compiling these on going stories… it is appreciated.
The words below were written by someone named -SaBi- who has captured much of what I struggle with. Thank you all for your friendship, faith and kindness.
“Sometimes it is a curse to be 'awake'. While awakening is the most liberating, empowering and far-reaching journey, it is also the loneliest and most confusing journey of all.
No one talks about the darkness that accompanies awakening, or the grief that comes with it. You mourn not only the life and illusions you once had, but also the realization that almost everything you once thought you knew is a lie. The beliefs you held onto, the people you learned to trust, the principles you were taught.
You mourn the loss of many relationships with people who simply won't and can't "see" it. You feel alone, ridiculed and shamed, not only by the masses, but for many of us by your own family and friends. You feel like you no longer have much in common with the people around you.
It is difficult to have useless and superficial conversations that lack substance with those who are still in deep sleep. Some even mourn the loss of their ignorance, because ignorance makes many things easier.
There is no way to sugarcoat it: waking from twilight sleep is brutal. You will go through the full range of human emotions. You will dive down the darkest rabbit hole, processing information only to emerge and cope with daily life. You will feel more and more disconnected from family and friends, as if you were living in another world.
If you recognize yourself, know that you are not alone. Not only are you not alone, there are many of us. We may be separated by distance, but we are deeply connected.”
