I want to add my condolences. I too do pre-hospital care and it sure seems like a cardiac event, especially given your husband's health history. Please know you did everything possible.

Wow- I am so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could do. Prayers to you and your family.

This is a terrible experience for you and your children,there doesn't seem to have been anything more you could have done.Listen to everybody here and get support and help for yourself and your children.I pray that you will all find peace in remembering your husband and Father instead of grief beating yourselves up over what more you could have done.

You did all that you could... your thoughts are with us... one thing I did learn in NS is that diabetics often have silent heart attacks, meaning they feel no pain because of neuropathy, I believe... it's hard to diagnose... I'm sorry and hope you feel better soon

My prayers are with you and yours! I am so sorry for your loss!

I'm so sorry about this. I agree, it's easy to feel guilt, I went through that (guilt)when my husband died almost 10 years ago. I was 40 and he was 52, similar ages to you and your husband. This is a very stressful time, especially if you have kids. If you want to talk, please PM me, or email. I'm sorry you're going through this awful time.

I am so sorry that you and your children are going through this. I am not a nurse, but I am sure you did everything that you possibly could have done for your husband. I will keep you and your children in my prayers. Peace be with you.

(((Please accept my sincere condolences. )))) A diabetic with pre existing heart condition is very likely to just go to sleep and not wake up... due to many factors previously mentioned here. Know that you did everything you can, and your sons will also know that in time. Please do find a bereavement group for all of you. Blessings. Mary

Pam, I'm so sorry. It sounds like you did all that anyone could have done.

I hope you have been receiving help and understanding from your family, friends, and the people at your school.

I know that it is hard to believe when the loved one's passing on has been very, very recent but time really does heal these wounds. The anniversary of my Mom's death was 3/10 (7 years). And I didn't even think about it until my brother called that night and mentioned it. I was glad in a way and also aghast that I had not thought about it for weeks ahead of time and all day on that day.
