Loving husband and father lost to heart disease.

[elena]

My husband of 11yrs passed away due to massive heart attack. It was Sunday and the kids, my husband and I were home. I heard a sound like something had fallen and went to check and see what the noise was. My husband was laying in the hallway face down. I yelled out to him and called 911 and was instructed to turn him over and start CPR. I yelled at my little girls to run to the neighbor's so they wouldn't see their Daddy like this. He was taken to the hospital and they were placing a stent. I could hear them calling a code blue on the overhead. Silently I was praying to myself that it wasn't him that coded but somehow my heart knew. Oct 25th 2016 we lost the most important person in our little family. Not a day goes by that my children and I don't miss him. It's been 6 months and I still feel lost.

the feeling of lost is something we feel when such things happen. Im sure you still wake up and hope its all a dream. so many emotions and in the grief you still have to take care of your babies. I hope you have close family and friends that could help in this hard time. 11 years of memories wont go away in six months or ever actually. In time things will get better just hold on to your faith.

Thank you both for your kind words. I do have great family and friends that are there for me, but although they are there people don't understand unless they have lost someone close. My faith and children keep me going. And yes Lulu I wake every morning wishing it was just a bad dream. Seems so surreal.
