Mary Ann Kenny shares her emotional journey of love and loss after meeting her husband John in 2000. Initially captivated by a strong connection, they maintained a long-distance relationship until he moved to Ireland in 2008. Their life seemed perfect until tragedy struck in 2015 when John unexpectedly died from undiagnosed cardiovascular disease, leaving Mary Ann to navigate her grief while trying to care for their two young children. Seeking therapy for support, she found the process challenging yet necessary as she coped with her profound loss and aimed to provide stability for her family.
It was a coup de foudre — a bolt of lightning. We had finally found what had taken both of us a very long time to find.
John collapsed and died, age 60, from undiagnosed cardiovascular disease, while out jogging. He was a very fit, healthy, clean-living man.
Plunged into grief, Kenny tried desperately to maintain a sense of normality for her young children. Everything I had done prior to that... it all just ground to a halt.
Your sadness, your distress, is completely within the norm and what's to be expected... even though, at the time, I was impatient to start.
