My world collapsed the day my wife died—but the unraveling began weeks earlier. Kathy had been going deaf, unable to hear our grandson's precious words: 'I love you, Grandma.' The cochlear implant was her last hope to regain her hearing. Six weeks after her surgery, Kathy died from a stroke caused by a brain hemorrhage. Was her death a result of the surgery or something else entirely? Grief consumed me, leaving me confused and searching for answers. This is the raw and deeply personal story of my journey through the darkness of loss as I grappled with both my sorrow and the mystery of my wife's death.
