On April 18th 2018 my beautiful Sharon was tragically taken from me. On April 11th whilst at work she suffered a massive cardiac arrest and brain aneurysm almost simultaneously resulting in extensive irreparable brain damage. She was taken to QMC and stabilised and the aneurysm was coiled to prevent further bleeding. However, due to this invasive but successful procedure she also suffered a stroke which led to further damage to her brain. The doctors, nurses and consultants at QMC have been absolutely incredible, ensuring that Sharon was stable and comfortable during her final days and for this I cannot thank them enough, they were absolutely brilliant and I’m happy in the knowledge that they did everything they could for her.
At 23.11 her ventilator was removed and her life support systems closed and she was able to breathe on her own, and at 23.14 she took her last breath and said goodbye to us. My whole world has come crashing down and I know that I’ll never be the same again, my beautiful girl and I will no longer grow old together and our plans have been shattered by this cruelest twist of fate, but I can take so much comfort knowing that her last days were free from pain and suffering and she passed away peacefully on her own terms.
The silver lining to this terrible cloud is that the organs that Sharon was able to donate have given six other people a chance for a more fulfilling life and as part of Sharon’s legacy I’ll take that as a win for her.
Goodnight Bright Eyes, sleep well
I’ll love you forever and I’ll never forget you.
Love always
