    • About Me

      I'm 45 years old and have been a nurse for 18 years. My husband of 14 years died before my eyes December 12th, 2008. I did CPR but he was gone so fast. No warning. In seconds my world ended. All the times I've "saved" others and I couldn't help the one person I love more then words can say. I have a wonderful 25 yr old son from my 1st marriage.My husband and I for the past 7 yrs traveled all over the country as I was doing travel nursing. I can't imagine my life without Ty.

      Aw, Sherry, that meant a lot to me, too! You are such a sweet person and I felt your pain so deeply when we met. I really hope and pray that time will help you. I hope your summer continues to be a cool one....we'll just keep all this heat down here :) Take care and God bless!

      From veeachjay July 28

      I hope you are doing well, Sherry. I know this year is very hard for you. Big hugs as you go through the seasons, hoping the memories will be comforting rather than sad. Drop me a line when you can. Take care and God bless!

      From adelheid July 4

      Thank you for your honest comments on my journal entry. We are all having to face the fact that we can't change what has happened and that is so hard. My husband wasn't with me when he had his heart attack and I would not have had the knowledge to try to help in the way you did. I suppose we have to accept that it was their time to go and that they didn't suffer so we are suffering now for them. I want him back but my husband would never have coped with disability and constant medical intervention. I try to take comfort in that but it is easy, when things are tough, to blame yourself. How complex grieving is! My love to you. Margaret

      on 12/12/08 I looked at my husband over on the couch and thought he was joking around. He was making a strange "noise" and his head was turned. I went over there and screaming pulled him on the floor started cpr&called 911. The "noise" was agonal breathing being an RN I knew he was gone.He was only 44 and never sick a day in his life. Just had a complete physical-walked 5-10 miles. I thought I'd go way before him. All I do is weep,get mad then cry some more.35 days-still can't believe it.
