As told by her mother Nancy
My world changed in 2014 when my 22-year-old daughter Brianne died in my arms. I was in so much shock that she passed away. She had leg pain, then trouble breathing, and I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I didn’t know why until the medical examiner conducted an autopsy.
The medical examiner called me and said Brianne had a DVT in her leg and her lungs were full of blood clots. I was devastated. If I only knew more about DVT and pulmonary embolism I could have spoken up. I kept insisting something wrong. We never found out why she had blood clots.
I promised I would get the word out so others could be saved. No one should have to bury their child.
