I've been present for a heart attack of a family member. They were gone pretty much instantly. Present for a stroke of another one. I found them on the floor and called an ambulance. They made it a few days and then passed.

And this one came real close to being the end of me also. Pulmonary embolism. She died while I was attempting CPR. RIP Baby.

He stood up and fell flat out. No complaints, sweating, problems talking etc. Stood up and was gone.

Thanks man. The first two were elderly. Honestly a major heart attack doesn't really look like a bad way to go. I'd prefer peacefully in my sleep. But he was there one second, had a moment of oh shit and was just gone. The stroke wasn't as severe as in the video but it wasn't pretty. He was fully aware for a day or so that shit was going bad. Looked like a scary, lonely death even with us there.

The last one led to me having something like PTSD or whatever for awhile. Spent a lot of time staring at the wall and thinking about pulling my own plug. She was a good woman.

I'll watch dudes get grenades dropped on their heads all day. Videos like this fuck me up though.

Dang I think I'd have PTSD or suicide for the loss of only one person.

What was that woman's relationship with you?

Wife. 30 years. The expression 'It gets better' is kind of true but not really. I saw nothing but her dying for around 6 months. It was devastating. I'm not destroyed like that anymore or thinking about me ending it. I do have out of nowhere " Holy fuck you're dead" moments still. And find myself talking out loud to her. I'm good now for the most part. Something definitely broke though when it happened.

I can't imagine. I'm so sorry you had to live through that. Just thinking about that happening to me makes it hard to breathe. I'm really glad your still here to prove it's even possible to live through that.

Hey I feel like you are part of the 0.01% of the people here that actually have empathy. I never thought I see a comment like this on this site.
