In reply to the discussion: Debbie Reynolds Dead at 84 [View all]BumRushDaShow
(166,335 posts)92. I hear ya
I have a feeling that given Debbie had her big break in a tough environment at a similar time in life that her daughter eventually experienced, that she over-compensated/projected all her own insecurities/issues onto her daughter. Hollywood is cruel and you see the same story play out over and over with Hollywood/entertainment families. There is often a sense of ruthlessness that prevails.
I know for me, my mother passed a week after New Years almost 2 years ago (had to take her to the hospital New Years Day and eventually a hospice a couple days later where she passed), so this time of year is heartbreaking for me as well although I made every effort for a number of years to spend as much time with her as I could (daily in most cases)... just talking news and other odds and ends. She was 2 years older than Debbie Reynolds.
All I ask is for the drama to just go away. We need some quiet.

I saw the TMZ story earlier about a potential stroke and had a feeling that this was it.

In my book Carrie was not that old and surely had access to some good docs. Gone too soon.
