Hello group,
I lost my beautiful wife on Saturday 20.12.25. She had been diagnosed with AML and admitted into hospital for a round of Chemotherapy in 3 doses.. After the third dose and no obvious side affects she caught flu on the ward. This infection progressed to tummy flu and resulted in her having an infection in her pic-line and scepsis.
ICU thought they had controlled it but it manifested itself in her lungs and advanced to bronichol pneumonia resulting in multi organ failure.
My wife was the kindest person always had time foreveyone she never deserved this
Ironically after 7 months of living with MDS/AML everyday she asked me if she was dying and she never died of it.
I feel alone, lost, empty and heartbroken . I do not know what to do without her. I cry constantly but have 2 grown up boys to be strong for. I am in bits.
Someone so kind and loving taken from us at 59 She was planning her 60th next March we had cancelled two holidays this year so she wanted so much to make up for it.
My heart will never mend everywhere i look is her stamp
Merse
