Couple Married For 64Yrs Died Hours Apart As They Spend Final Moment Together. by Explorers(m): 1:01am On Dec 24, 2016 |
A Tennessee couple married for nearly 64 years died just hours apart as they spent their final moments holding hands in their hospital beds. Dolores Winstead, 83, and husband Trent Winstead, 88, died in Nashville's Saint Thomas West Hospital two weeks ago and five weeks short of their 64th wedding anniversary. Several days before the couple passed away, a healthy Dolores stood by her husband's hospital bed holding his hand after he was admitted due to his failing kidneys. Dialysis had started to weaken his heart and he was moved to intensive care as Dolores and their two adult children, Eddie and Sheryl, were forced to watch his condition worsen. But soon after on the night of December 7, Dolores started to complain ofa headache and started throwing up. The 83-year-old had suffered a severe brain aneurysm as she stood by her husband's bedside. She was connected to a ventilator as her condition started to deteriorate. Hospital staff received approval to place the couple in the same room so they could spend their final moments together. They were pictured lying together holding hands. Dolores and Trent had been married for almost 64 years and had two children, three grand children and eight great grand children. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4061820/Couple-married-64-years-die-hours-spending-final-moments-holding-hands.html 5 Likes 3 Shares

The couple met back in the 1950s in Dickson County, Tennessee and married soon after Trent returned from serving in the Korean War. 2 Likes 1 Share

Their children said they were polar opposites, Dolores was quiet and had a love of cooking, while Trent was outgoing and spent his days fishing on the lake. Dolores stopped breathing at 9.10pm on December 9. The couple's son Eddie had to lean over and tell Trent that his beloved wife had died. The 88-year-old blew a kiss to his wife and died just hours later. 'Because she was gone, he just could not handle it. We just watched him die,' their daughter Sheryl told the Washington Post. Trent and Dolores would have celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary on January 17. The couple were laid to rest last week with Dolores in a pink casket and Trent in a blue one. 5 Likes 2 Shares

We are nothing but animals...higher animals When I was a pre-teen I thought I'd live forever Now I can't even play football 90mins again And some trickster will prey on my fear of death by urging me to attend church so I make heaven and live forever. I always ask them...live forever in heaven doing what exactly?? They never have an answer |
