Not a Momma

Hello. This isn’t Mary Jo. This is her husband, Matt. As the subject says, the worst possible thing that could have happened, has. My wife of 4 years, who I knew for nine, passed away on Saturday, May 15, 2010. I can’t even begin to describe how I feel right now. She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She was my life. She was my everything. She might have felt like I didn’t believe in her problems, but I did. I told her to call her doctor and tell her the pills aren’t working. I told her… My soul was ripped in half this past Saturday, and I don’t know how to live without her. The love and support of family and friends is the only thing that keeps me from breaking down right now. Mary Jo was the kindest, sweetest, gentlest, most wonderful person on this planet. She would do almost anything for anyone.

I urge everyone to see your doctor if you suspect ANYTHING is wrong. If you don’t think your doctor is taking you seriously, GET A SECOND OPINION! This could have been diagnosed so long ago, if the doctor had taken her prior history into account. She had a relapse of heart failure, due to a blood clot in her heart that then traveled into her brain, causing her to have a stroke on May 7, 2010. She was doing well, on her way to rehab and recovery, when the doctor mentioned her bad heart and she went into a panic attack and died before my eyes.

I just thought you all should know, so you don’t wonder what happened to the best woman the world will ever know…

I have not been good lately. Health issues and emotional issues are overwhelming me. I don’t even know what to do lately. Dealing with everything is making me feel lost. Last night Matt and I had a long talk, and it helped some, but not enough to change things for me. I feel like so one is really paying attention to me, my friends, family, doctor. I just need people to take me seriously. I need someone to listen, to really just listen.
