RJMC said… I am an RN too. Not working at present--have three small kids, but am dreading renewing my CPR. Like you, the last time I performed CPR was on my husband. Will keep you in my thoughts tomorrow.

M'LADY said… Hello MissingMyDavid;
I lost my husband Ed October 1, 2012 to a Brain Aneurysm other wise know as a bled of the brain. I am 51, he was 54 married 27 years, we have three grown children and three beautiful grandchildren. I keep thinking that it's all a bad dream and I will wake up. I am so glad you found this site. Just in the short time I have been here I have been treated so kindly and everyone has accepted me with open arms. Take Care and Welcome!
LaurieR said… Hello MissingMyDavid I am so sorry for your loss. I never really know what to say but welcome to this site. It is so very hard for people who have not lost their significant other to understand what your going through. People here all have lost their love and understand. I lost my husband suddenly on Easter Sunday 2012 we were married almost 30 years. All I can say is it does get better very,very slowly and there is hope. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I will do my best to help you. I will send you a friend request, if you wish you can accept
