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.

Hopefully these messages will comfort you in a tiny way, just to know how many virtual strangers feel so very much for you. My husband asked me why I had tears in my eyes as I was reading. I am so so sorry to read such sad news and send very best wishes and condolences to you and your family.

Oh I'm so sorry

DollyParsnip · 29/05/2021 11:03

Thank you all for your kindness and support, have weirdly had a relaxing morning - no worry about the hospital or childcare so feel like I'm easing into the day.

DD is due back from what sounds like an epic sleepover about 12 so I will tell her then. Am dreading it really, I know it will break her heart. Just want to keep her happy forever.
