About Brianne: My beautiful, very beautiful, daughter was a kind and generous person who dealt with Bipolar disorder from the age of 11 and a brain injury at 17. She survived the accident with some affects, but no one who met her ever realized there was any problem initially. However, she was angry she could not function normally and hold a regular job. Regardless, she sustained herself, independently, as a very entertaining tour guide for more than 10 years. The Ghost Tour she excelled at was a bar hop and she became an functioning alcoholic along the way. The last few months of her life I knew she wasn't well, but the symptoms were identical to other health things she had going on so we never put anything together. She went to the gym in the morning, then the grocery, and on her way home became confused and lost. I had no car and could not pick her up. I gave her good directions, but she went the wrong way, collapsed, and died next to the train track she thought was taking her closer to home. They found her body 3 hours later. I never realized how much she drank until I read her journals and cleaned out her room. more... less...
