Summary

My client and her daughter are terrified as her two-year-old granddaughter, having swallowed a quarter, is choking on it. As her granddaughter’s eyes roll back in her head, she finally goes limp, and my client thinks, “We’re Losing Her!”

See her terrifying thoughts below:

I am terrified of what is happening to her because “if we lose her, the pain will be unbearable.
I want her to keep living and be available for this love I feel for her.
She should not leave us, should not devastate us, should stop choking, and should start breathing.
To be happy, I need her to live.
She is going to die. She won’t be available to experience my love. She’s not going to live a full life as she should.
I don’t ever want her to die before I do.
