Something terrible happened in my neighborhood......
14 years ago
I'm not even sure how I should post what I want to say. I'm just numb at the news.
My next door neighbor was found dead in her home last night (Tuesday). Her neighbors and I hadn't seen her for a few days, and the neighbor on the other side of her house called the police, to ask them to just go check on her. They had to break into a side door, and apparently immediately were overcome by the odor of decay.
I'd only seen her once in the 5 months I've lived here, and I tried to 'make contact' when her aged dog had passed away a couple months ago, by leaving a sympathy note on her car, but she never contacted me back.
Near as I could tell from that one encounter, I *think* she might have been in her late 60's. (I terrible at guessing age.)
I don't know how to feel over this. I'm sad that she passed away, but I feel there should be more. But since I didn't actually know her, there can't be more.
Hopefully this won't effect me really bad, since I'm still not over my parents passing away, even though I didn't know Carol (that's the neighbor) at all.
Today I was numb at work. Didn't really care about anything, or anyone... Just went through the motions of my job. I hope this doesn't continue.
*Crosses fingers*
Wish me luck.
