How could this have happened ?????

My dad, my buddy, "the man" and my mom's truly beloved husband passed away at 3pm on Tuesday May 3rd. He was just coming out of prostrate surgery and was in recovery. The doctors had taken "all" of the cancer out and we were told the surgery was a success. He was 62 yrs of age and very healthy. About 5 minutes post-op is when he stopped breathing. The doctors cpr'd him for a 1/2 hour we were told but he didnt make it. He died. We are all in a state of shock. How can a healthy man that went thru such a common surgery die 5 minutes after a "successfull" surgery ? I feel like the doctors are hiding something. My mom is just broken to pieces. My mom and dad were so crazy about one another. They adored each other so much. My dad had just retired last week. They had so many things planned. My dad just wanted to get throughthe surgery and live another "20 years" like he said....I feel so horrible for my mom. This is such a tragedy......

Oh andrews, I don't know what to say. I am so sorry about your dad. I can't even imagine what you, your mom, and your family are going through. I'm so sorry.

I just wanted you to know I care.

Re: How could this have happened ?????

undefinedAndrew,
Losing a parent is VERY difficult. I lost my Dad last year-He was a new grandfather & wanted desperately to be here to see the kids grow...its heartbreaking f or them and me and my Mom etc...I know what you are going through-as my Dads illness was sudden too. Just try to keep the faith and try to stay busy while keeping all the wonderful memories in your heart. I know i was so blessed to have such a great man to call "Dad".

I am so sorry about your loss...I lost my dad a little over a month ago to cancer at 62 and my mom 5 years ago at 57 which was very unexpected. I feel your pain. ....
