I have seen posts like this and never thought that I would actually post one. It is more sad and scary and confusing than i could ever convey.
I had no clue my heart was so broken. Never have seen a cardiologist.
@snowdiz,so glad your husband got stents

I'm sure it all seems overwhelming now. But you are in good hands with experts who know what they are doing. Your heart hurts for your mom, of course, and grief and fear are ok right now. We send you strength, knowing you are not alone.

I'm so sorry for all that you are going through right now.Not sure if you lived near your mom, but maybe have a family member bring you something comforting of hers-a blanket or shirt you can wrap yourself in.She is with you and you will get through this.

Cont. hernia that occurred while my mom was dying of stage 4 kidney disease (with dementia) at a nursing home where my son put her as I was transported to the hospital. I was just out of the hospital when she passed. She was unable to answer the phone.

Timing and life is EVERYTHING! I'm sure you will be fine but am more than willing to talk if you need (we lived for 7 years knowing my husband was slowly dying & were able to talk about it). Few who have not experienced it are willing to talk about it.

I'm so sorry. I've had these moments in the hospital and grief after my Dad passed and what helped me calm was playing music by Iz (Hawaiian singer). I even played it while in labor. I also love the Hallow app. I still play it when falling asleep.

I am so sorry its so tough and scary right now. Sending hugs and whatever positive energy I can through chat. I had a Disney loving mom too and so much reminds me of her. Look ahead to your next trip - it will give you something to aim for.

My heart goes out to you. I also lost my mom and we talked most evenings. It is a hard thing to go through and you also have to have heart surgery. We at lines can be here for you. Always talk to your mom, she will always live on in your heart.

So sorry to hear about your Mom. Praying that your surgery goes smoothly, & for healing. Also, seconding @operaml's Hallow app recommendation. It has helped me through tough times. Sending hugs.

@LJG , I am so sorry for everything you have been through. Grief is real. It is a twisting turning winding road. I care and I empathize. I now know the pain that I wish I didnt. It makes me see the world differently.

@Operaml,that song is beautifully haunting.Tears streaming.I have not had time to process that she is not here anymore.I couldnt leave the hospital to go to the viewing,i was so angry Friday.I will continue to listen to his music. I feel connected to it

I will also check out the Hallow app and see what that is like.
@Totsy,@Wendy ,@donna, thank you so much for your caring words. It means so much to me right now.There has been so much unforeseen heartache and worry this year. Its been rough

I know that feeling all too well. Though my health is good, few days pass without wishing I could call or text my dad about something. He was my person, and even five months after he passed, it sometimes doesn't feel real.

I also love the hallow app even though I'm not Catholic. @remember, I'm glad your husband is there with you and your daughter is coming today. I bet there's someone else in your life who would love to support you but doesn't know how. Praying for you.

So glad you are getting the help you need quickly. Healing takes time tho, so just chat away.
You are loved...and love is always something precious to remember and hold on to. We'll be praying for you...

@Remember- we are coming up on the 1year anniversary of a very similar thing happening to my DH. I understand your confusion of not knowing how extreme things were with your heart and then the stress of waiting period until they could fix it....

We had to focus on being thankful they found it when they did. Liners are here for you and we will be praying and sending healing thoughts your way tomorrow and as you heal. One of these events is enough to go through so processing will come in stages...

After surgery do your incentive spirometer often (set an alarm if you need to)and keep that heart pillow close! Update us when you can... we are here for you!

As a 51 year female. I will say this again . Ladies especially but gentlemen too, do not ignore shortness of breath when doing easy things like walking to the kitchen, paired with dizziness and an occasional chest pain or tightness. Or breathing but
