I think my Husband is dying

Hi

DH had a planned surgery on Thursday which went wrong; he had a catastrophic bleed which lead to his chest being opened and a long time to stabilise. He's on full life support but they are very, very concerned that he has few signs of brain activity.

He's in a good hospital with an amazing team around him, we didn't expect him to last over Thursday night and they've kept him going but I am slowly realising that I think he's gone.

Fuck. What do I do without him? We have an 11 yo DD who is awesome and friends but I feel so alone. So much panic.

Sorry for unloading, just feels incredibly surreal.

I don't think I can even imagine what you are going through. I really, really hope you get some good news. Thoughts will be with you many times over the coming days.

mcmooberry · 26/05/2021 09:23

Oh my goodness what a terrible situation I am so sorry to hear this. If the worst happens and he doesn't recover then this period when you have a chance to be with him will be so important (had a similar situation last month with a family member). Thinking of you x

MrsMariaReynolds · 26/05/2021 09:31

Sending love and hugs @DollyParsnip to you, DD and wider family and friends.

SirVixofVixHall · 26/05/2021 09:54

It sounds as though this was an out of the blue situation? A huge shock, I am so sorry. I hope that things are gradually improving, and that you are getting more information today.

DollyParsnip · 26/05/2021 09:57

Thank you again for your amazing messages of support and hope, they are just making such a lonely situation feel less alone.

Having a big wobble this morning, got a bit teary on the phone and scared my poor DD as she thought it was bad news - she's off for a day with my in laws so I hope she manages to have a bit of fun.

Sending Flowers to every one of you and my heart goes out to all who have found yourselves in this or a similar situation xx
