My darling husband

He’s had a stroke following a number of open heart surgeries to repair and replace his heart valves. I can’t breathe, I overheard them say terminal stroke. I love him so much.

He won't have any awareness of what is happening, he won't be feeling any pain or fear. He will have everything he needs at the hospital.

Concentrate on yourself & getting to your children so you can support each other through this. Don't worry about anything else for now

I’m so so sorry OP. I went through something very similar with my mum in the place of one of your children. Be prepared that there may be a conversation about organ donation if he is in ITU. I was very surprised my mum wasn’t too old and she donated two kidneys.

lots of love
