RIP To My Husband & I'll Be Quite A While

Sep 20, 2010

I wanted to come in and just update you all on the loss of my husband.  He passed away suddenly on September 10th.  He got out of bed because of heart burn and was going to eat some tums (warning, I am going to sound angry, I am sure, in the words I am writing and to be honest, besides hurt and despair, I am) because he had been having heart burn pretty bad for about a week.  Despite my pleads and fish fits I threw trying to get him to go to the ER, he wouldn't't go.  He was going to go when his insurance kicked in (he had been out of work 2 yrs since his lay off and just got a job at the beginning of August) I wouldn't be able to keep him out of the doctors.
My husband was a big man, he ate all the wrong things (I can't point fingers at him, hell I had to have surgery to get my weight under control) and it was Coronary Artery Disease that took my Love's life, he was 48 years old and just 7 days shy of his 49th birthday.  Do you all hear and feel me on what I just put in this paragraph??  HE WAS 48...A BIG MAN...DIED OF CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE!!!!!!  So for those that wonder is the surgery worth the risk to get to your goal for your health, YES IT IS...YES YES YES IT IS!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, I have learned so so much in the 11 days since his death but I am not able to sit long enough to share it with anyone but I promise that the next time I am able to sit and write it will be a super testimony to what my wonderful husband has taught me and I wish to share it with you all because you never know, maybe it can help someone else as well.  If anyone would like to copy any part or the whole part of this blog to share with people, you have my permission as you see it here in this blog because I won't be back on for a while.  Please feel free to show people how ignoring our bodies and mistreating it so horribly can cause not just your self, but loved ones such heart wrenching pain.  Pain that can be avoided.  For those that would like to friend me, I am on FaceBook.com and you can find me under Diane McCarty-Tillman.
Gob Bless each of you!
Peace~
