He died in my arms while I desperately tried to keep him alive while trying to clear his airways from all of the fluids that come out of a human beings body when we pass away.
‘As I’m on the floor with Dave dead and lots of fluid is coming out of his mouth and the other places in his body. I keep my emotions in check ,even though I’m absolutely heartbroken and terrified at the shock of having my beloved husband dead in my arms.
‘My nurse is also on the floor right next to myself and Dave pumping away really hard performing heavy CPR. She shouts out Cici I’m gonna stop, Dave is gone. He is dead Cici. I refuse to give in or give up on a miraculous intervention anything to get my husband back alive.’
