How sad... Natasha Richardson has died. Apparently, she fell while taking a skiing lesson on a beginners' slope. She bumped her head, thought she was fine, but then there was some brain swelling... and now she's gone.
I can't fathom how shocked her family must be. She probably laughed about falling on the beginners' slope... Just reminds you that seemingly insignificant injuries can kill people. One of my mom's dearest friends and mentors from medical school recently died because a blister on his foot got infected. A blister! And then he got MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus), and it killed him.
I don't know what lesson there is in all of this. I could advise my friends and family to take care of themselves, but really, these things happen. I guess it's one more reminder to live while you're alive.
