Wow, this is heartbreaking. I think I would rather just never come out of the coma - the trauma this poor women endured ….

[imoverclocked → ninesnines]

At least she woke up before her husband died. Can you imagine waking up with the news that he passed after taking care of her for 30+ years?

[xwdv → imoverclocked]

This is the kind of detail a writer would throw into a heart wrenching story about love. A faithful husband dies just days before his wife wakes up from a 30 year coma.

If the wife wakes up soon after the husband dies you have to ask if there’s a causative relationship there- e.g., Munchausen by proxy

It's far more likely that two people in their 80s would die at approximately the same time by natural causes than anything like Munchausen's by proxy.

I didn’t say die

It's sad that her husband only lived for another 3 years after she woke up.

She didn't think it was traumatic, perhaps a little disappointed in her finite body, but she was happy about the relationship!

"marriage vows and promised to stay together"

"Our romance began all over again."

"tragic 1963 and the good final years she had with the man who loved her forever."
