This really got to me, and I’m near tears. Two years ago my cousin’s longtime girlfriend of something like ten years, soon to be wife, who he had a child with, suffered a massive heart attack at 29 years old. They revived her twice, and she is still unresponsive. Our whole family was devastated - he had a daughter with her who was eight at the time. Although it sounds cold, he really was lucky to have her pass, especially while he was there. Jenny still lays unresponsive.
