“We were at my mother’s place. My husband was laughing along with my brother, and our children were playing with their cousins, it was such a pleasant morning but all of a sudden my husband collapsed on the floor. We rushed him to the hospital where he was immediately admitted to the ICU, something was wrong with his brain but despite our best efforts, I lost him. I didn’t even get a chance to talk to him, he never woke up after he fainted that day.”
