Death

Yesterday morning the ventilator keeping my beloved husband of almost 51 years, died.
He died on the golf course which I guess is a good way for him to go.
Although he was 75 last week, he was still within the range for organ donation. So his kidneys and liver will live on in someone I hope.
As an obstetrician he brought life into the world, and on his way out of this world, he gave back life.
That was a comfort.

Thanks for the responses. I was showing my ignorance, I couldn't work out how someone who died on the golf course also had a ventilator.

Very brave post crow you have my admiration and my donor card is safely tucked in my purse.

You are correct Anna I am in a bit of a muddle just now.
Thank you for all the comforting messages. I appreciate them so much.

Oops, I meant to say there was a bit missing.

I'm new on here, so I don't know any of you, and it is so sad that the first time I come across you, Crow, is in a thread such as this. My heart goes out to you.

So sorry to hear about your dear husband. My dear husband died in 2012. It's such a shock. You may find comfort on the pages dealing with widowhood. My thoughts are with you flowers

Crow, no words.......... just heartfelt sympathy.

janerowena Tue 24-Mar-15 16:55:05

I too am so very sorry, yet so - I can't find the words. Impressed? By your ability to let some of him go on living, to bring life to someone else, as my own family can't understand my own wishes on this subject.

I do hope it brings you some comfort. flowers

Crow I am sorry for your loss. As others have said, do think that he has had a chance to help others and that he was doing what he enjoyed at the time, it might help you knowing that. flowers
