Loss of wife 46 years together

For the last 3 years my wife has went trough Cancer, in remission, May 10th last year fell and broke her back. On Thursday the 4th she broke her shoulder. The ER ran all blood tests, ( everything normal) put shoulder in a sling and we went home. All week before the shoulder break she was cleaning, work around the kitchen ect. Well Friday she was very tired, went to bed at 0700pm, around 1000pm I woke up to her tossing and turning. She count not even talk in coherent words. Call our son to help me get her to the car to take her to the E (about 10 min) away she did not recognize him. Could not answer him or anything. Called Emergency services to take her. Same Dr from Thursday night was on call. Ran same blood work, results came back showing a very high level of infection. O2 level began to fall, took her to ICU to place an incubation tube, the minuet the tube was placed in heart stopped. The Dr said most infection go from like A to C as they progress in serviette, Her's went from A to Z. They could not explain the cause or explain what happened. They thought they had a hand on it, it was serious but they thought they had it. No known cause??
Hope this is not too long but helps to talk. Thanks for listening to me ramble.

 

I am so sorry for what you have had to endure. Dealing with medical confusion during an emergency adds such an overwhelming burden to the suffering. I don't think there are answers in this life, but I await peace when I see my husband again. He passed 35 days ago, after 38 years of marriage. I was his caretaker for the last 6 years due to his Alzheimer's. The pain is unbearable. But I know he is no longer suffering and in peace with God. I think most of us go through shock for a period of time, some of us for years. You are among people here you are going through the same loss. Please keep talking. Blessings to you.

 

Thank you for your kind words I know she's very well taken care of and I will be with her in due time. The shock is not here yet just the loneliness and lost feelings. We will made it with people like you and others to listen. My prayers to each and everyone.
