Default I am a widow now

I am a widow now,lost my husband Aaron of 4 years on Thursday.He dropped dead of a fatal heart attack on the worksite and I got the call at work.It has been hard so far and I am doing very well.Tons of support from my parents,twin sister Mika and of course friends including his family that has been hit very hard.I did try to convince him to see his doctor,was complaining of chest pains and he said it would go away.He was 44 years old and his doctor said it could of been prevented.Good thing is I had the day off today for grieving.

He did not want to go to the doctor at all for this.His family has history of heart attacks and he knew this.I always will remember him as a good husband and loved my German accent calling me by my nickname "Heidi" sometimes.

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear this! You're family will most definitely be in my prayers. Take all the time you need to grieve. There is no set time to "feel better", I'm sure it still hasn't even really sunk in for you yet...I'm so sorry...

I can actually understand his thinking on this, to not waste your money on Doctors, Hospitals, and Insurance to try and prolong the inevitable, to give you the biggest chance for a better life financially.

I am so sorry to hear about your husband. We are living in strange times when people think of their wallet before their health. It's good that you are surrounded by people who care about you, and don't forget there are people who care about you here too!
