My husband died right in front of my eyes, he was sitting in his wheelchair and not breathing too well.. I was holding his breathing machine up so he could take a treatment, and his head was slumped onto his chest mouth open.. I didn't realise he'd stopped breathing until I saw how white he was, I felt his cheeks and they were cold and his lips were blue, no heartbeat, and he wasn't breathing.. omg.. I was was in panic..

I tilted his head back held his nose and breathed into his mouth a few times, his lungs made a rattling sound when I did that.. and he started to come back. All three of my kids were there with me, one holding his head up one holding the nebulizer to his mouth, and one holding his shoulders so he wouldn't fall out of his chair. After a few minutes of that, we lifted him onto his bed, and continued to give him the medicine then called 911.. they came and took him to the hospital, and he died a very slow and awful death 5 days later.

I wish I'd let him die the first time.. it was awful

he had emphysema and very bad asthma.. and yes.. he smoked.. everyone asks me that

I never want to go through something like that again.. I hope I don't have to
I hope you don't have to either..I smoke also and know it could kill me but I don't care.My condolences ,that is a terrible stroke of luck
