Did you know Mary?
Hello to all of you. I am looking for people who knew my daughter, Mary DeGuire who also used the nicknames of Fairy, Seeker and Midnight. I'm going around to some of the forums like this one online because my daughter used to come here often. I have been meaning to do it for many months but couldn't bring myself to do so before today. Mary died on december 23rd 2004. Mary didnt eat anything else but celery, carrots, lettuce, sugar free candy and Cristal light pink lemonade for the last 3 months of her life. Mary wanted to lose weight... always more and more... Mary was anorexic and whatever we tried to do to help, our love and committment couldn't weigh against what was litterally eating her alive... In the end, her heart couldn't take it... and at 14, weighing 87 Lbs 3 Oz... she died. It was sudden... she didnt seem to be that close to death... but i was told by the doctor who autopsied her that there was not sufficient muscle around her heart to keep it beating anymore... so it just stopped. I have been searching and searching why Mary felt this way about food and weight. Mary was hurt by a neighbor when she was a child... she was sexually abused by him for 5 months before we found out and he went to jail. We know how hurtful this had been for her. We wanted to be there for her but unfortunately we didnt seem to reach her enough to help her in time... or maybe the anorexia wasnt related... but no matter what, we lost this battle and lost our baby girl. Please... go see your mother or a teacher or a friend and ask for help... If you have been hurt by someone, you deserve safety and well being and care and understanding... and you dont deserve to die. You deserve to live and have a wonderful life, full of love and joy and it is possible. Someone somewhere is there for you and doesnt want you to die... When my baby's heart stopped... part of mine did too. I miss Mary so much... it feels like I have been crying for 8 months and never will stop. I cry for who she could have become with time... I cry for her smile and her gentleness and her grace... I cry for the children she wont have and the degree she wont earn, the discoveries she wont make and the sunsets she wont see... Please... listen to this mother's heart... Take care of yourselves. And if you knew Mary... think about her and send her your love... she will do the same for you. Mary's mom PS: please email me if you want to... if you need to talk... i want to listen. marysmom05@hotmail.com |

Re: Did you know Mary?
Mary's Mom, I didn't know Mary, but just wanted to tell you that I am extremely sorry for the loss of your precious little girl. I had tried to send you an email, but the email address that you'd provided didn't work. If you read this, please email me at trafalgartrue13@yahoo.com. Take care and God bless you! |
