My wife died suddenly back in 2001 from a diabetic seizure. I am OK now, but I was far from OK at the time. One night while watching TV she just began trembling while laying on my arm - she did wake up in the hospital. Seems sometime after I left her there for observation she had another seizure and that was it - I never spoke to my wife again. Of course there were always the 14 weeks that we spent with her in the diabetic coma in the hospital. You are so right. You never know what is going to be minutes from now. Tell those that you love how much you love them, say everything that you have to, don't wait! My wife and I had a good relationship, but oh how I wish I had a chance to say goodbye. I find healing in trying to help others live a healthy life - my blog helps a lot, if I can help just one person it feels great. You are doing great work here - I appreciate it very much! Thanks for the post. Scott Becker Great post Anna, I just found your blog and can really relate to it. My wife died suddenly back in 2001 from a diabetic seizure.
