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.

Message from MNHQ - Please read the OP's updates before posting on the thread. Thank you.

So very sorry to see your update x

I'm so, so sorry for your loss Dolly. I hadn't shared my story as it didn't have the positive end I was hoping yours would have. We lost my dad in much the same way. Mistakes were made and unfortunately the damage to his brain was too severe to survive. We were all by his side sharing our fondest memories with him as he slipped away. I like to think he could hear us but I suppose not. At least it was peaceful.

You and your DD will be in my thoughts this weekend and no doubt beyond.
