Sudden Loss

Last week my father suddenly passed away. He did not have any heart condition that we were aware of. After spending the whole day at work, he came home and was feeling very tired. His blood pressure was very low & his body was freezing cold at this time.

A doctor came home and gave him fluids through infusion which helped him recover. After 4 hours, he suddenly went to shock & was taken to a hospital. Before they could diagnose the problem, he was gone. The doctors are not sure of what the reason is. They think it could be cardiogenic shock. Is it possible to suddenly give up without any prior condition? Please help.

I can't offer any opinion as to the reason your father suddenly passed.  But, I would like to offer my sympathies.  I'm so sorry that you and your family have to endure such a difficult situation.  Treasure the memories and time you had with your dad.  Life passes quickly; thank goodness for memories.  Take care and may peace be with you and your family.
