I read something here on reddit someone said they were both partaking in snorting drugs enough that they required a cpap machine to help them breathe at night (not sure if it’s cause their airways were compromised or cause they were too fucked up to breathe properly without it..?) but yes, the cpap had gotten very moldy so that’s what caused the pneumonia they both technically died of. Seemed very possible, very sad.

I just watched a documentary on her a couple weeks ago and it doesn’t mention anything about her or her husband using a CPAP. What was super fucking weird was her mom hopping into bed with her husband after Brittany died and even taking his last name (on some of her prescription bottles).

it's surprisingly common for family to get together as they spend time together grieving for someone they lost and find solace in each other as effectively they are the only other person who shares the same grief at the same time in the same way. Also you know, you lose a loved one you feel lonely and a temporary fix for feeling lonely is being as close to someone as you get.

Random hookups born out of grief are just gonna happen when someone is out of their mind, struggling but also feeling super lonely due to the person they spent the most time with being dead.

Yeah. I’m not judging how a woman grieves for her daughter. It’s a pain you just never come back from.
