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?



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.
