My husband died

Today is the seven year anniversary of my husband’s sudden passing. He was biking a long distance 100 mile event. He got to about 75 miles, when he felt bad enough to stop. At an aid station he encouraged his riding buddy to finish her ride. He held on until she was out of sight, then collapsed in the arms of a nurse. They tried to resuscitate him there; then sent him by ambulance to an emergency room where they tried for 45 minutes to restart his heart. When that failed he was declared dead.

I would write more, but I’m recovering from a cold and physically exhausted. The emotions on top of that are intense.
