Support Josh and His Daughters After Tragic Loss

Donation protected
Hello, I don't know where to start. I'll introduce myself. My name is Josh. I recently lost my wife on Aug 31, 2024. It's been a nightmare. We've been together since 2010, 14 years. We have 3 beautiful daughters. The oldest is 13, the middle one is 7, and our little one is 5. It was a tragic loss due to a miscarriage. She left us too early; she was only 33 years old.

On Aug 30th, we fell asleep together with our 2 little ones, getting ready for church the next day. Around 1:35 am, I heard a loud fall. I ran out of bed and found my wife outside our bedroom door. I was panicking, didn't know what was going on. Called 911 right away; they had the EMT on their way. I kept asking my wife if she was okay. She mumbled, 'mhmm.' I kept asking her while rubbing her back, telling her not to fall asleep. As EMT got here, she was in so much pain. Her temp dropped down to 87, and she had the sweats. They checked her pulse, and it was faint. As they took her, I felt a relief she was in better hands with EMT. This time it's around 2:30 am. I got the kids ready and said we have to go to the hospital to see mom. My 5-year-old was crying, 'Is mommy dead?' I said, 'No, mommy is going to be okay; she's going to the hospital.'

When I got to the hospital, they said, 'Are you her husband?' I said, 'Yes.' They said, 'The doctor needs to talk to you right now; we can take care of the kids.' I said to myself, something is wrong. I went to the back, and the doctor said, 'I'm sorry.' I'm like, 'What do you mean?' He said her heart stopped on the way here, and we've been doing CPR for an hour. We are going to have to stop. I was in total shock; I said, 'No, you can't. I can't do it without her. My kids need their mom.' He said, 'I'm sorry.' My heart shattered into a million pieces at that moment.

About 2 weeks ago, we got her autopsy report. Come to find out she was still pregnant with twins. The first one passed at the ER about 6 weeks before she passed. The other got stuck in the fallopian tube, and it finally ruptured, and she bled internally. Every day I cry knowing we didn't only lose one baby; we lost 2, including my wife. Now I'm trying to raise our 3 girls. It's been tough constantly hearing the kids saying, 'We miss mom. Why did she have to go to heaven now?' I keep telling myself I'll see her again in Paradise one day when God decides to take me. But till then, I pray to God I stay strong for our girls and try my best.

I've never asked for help in my life, and I'm not the type to ask. But right now, it's been hard being out of work for 6 weeks. My job work has been slow since I'm a contractor. All I ask is for any kind of donation or a simple share. Please, thank you everyone for reading. May God bless you all. This is one of the hardest things in life, losing someone you love dearly.
