DH is dying

I don't even know what topic to put this in. My DH had a brain haemorrhage yesterday morning, the doctors have said it's not survivable. He's 60 years old and my best friend as well as my husband, we've been married for 23 years. I was sat at the bedside in ICU yesterday thinking that I wasn't going to post on mumsnet, even though like a lot of us I spend quite a bit of time here and feel like part of the community, but at 3 o'clock in the morning when you're all alone it seems like a good idea.
I got sent home from the hospital 'to try to get some sleep'.

Oh love, I'm so sorry. God bless you for thinking of others and donating his organs.

He was the same age as my DH. I just can't imagine.

Please take care of yourself and remember how he loved you. Love never dies.

Thank you (and him) for donating organs to save other lives.

So sorry.

What a brave and wonderful thing you've done in donation.

I am so sorry Thanks

Such a heartbreaking turn of events and I, like many other Mnetters no doubt, wish that there was something constructive I could do.

I am in Bucks if you need a RL hug.

So very sorry, calculators. How selfless of you to put the needs of others first at such a time.

Thanks

I'm so sorry for your loss, so brave to donate his organs.

I'm so so sorry wheredo

You must be in such shock. My DDs best friend died very suddenly in a traffic accident. She was also declined brain dead and then donated her organs. The whole thing is so unreal and like it was happening to someone else. Please take things one minute at a time, surround yourself with people you love. You have done an amazing thing by donating his organs.xxxx
