NSAIDS and Mickey's death
Wow --- the board judgment police are out in full force!
You didn't offend me, not even one bit. I can separate the sadness I feel for a woman that I really enjoyed, and the heartache I feel for her family, from wanting to know if there is anything at all we can learn from this.
Does the family owe us that? Hell no, and I don't expect them to come here and tell us squat. But, Mickie herself posted things, and I don't find it in bad taste at all to point some things out and ask for advise from people who may know more.
That is all I read to your post --- nothing more, nothing less. If others want to read more into it --- screw them. Get off the board if your grief is getting the better of your common sense.

Not Offended.
It's terribly normal and right up there with an "OMG...What happened?"
In the Five-Stages of Grief Model it goes like this:
- Denial—"I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me."
Denial is usually only a temporary defense for the individual. This feeling is generally replaced with heightened awareness of positions and individuals that will be left behind after death. - Anger—"Why me? It's not fair!"; "How can this happen to me?"; "Who is to blame?"
Once in the second stage, the individual recognizes that denial cannot continue. Because of anger, the person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy. Any individual that symbolizes life or energy is subject to projected resentment and jealousy. - Bargaining—"Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything for a few more years."; "I will give my life savings if..."
The third stage involves the hope that the individual can somehow postpone or delay death. Usually, the negotiation for an extended life is made with a higher power in exchange for a reformed lifestyle. Psychologically, the individual is saying, "I understand I will die, but if I could just have more time..." - Depression—"I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die... What's the point?"; "I miss my loved one, why go on?"
- Acceptance—"It's going to be okay."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
