Another life lost to smoking...I forgot to mention he was a hero...

My husband, Dennis's brother, Steve, died yesterday.  He was 68 years old.  He had been a heavy smoker since his teenage years, and although he tried many times, he never managed to beat the addiction.  He was diagnosed with lung and throat cancer.  Three weeks ago he had the surgery for the lung cancer.  He was supposed to be home in just a few days. Unfortunately,  he got pneumonia, and then sepsis.  They took him off life support yesterday, and he lived for about an hour.  He loved people, golf, and fishing.  His second grandchild will be born in the next month.  If you haven't quit...you owe it to yourself and your loved ones.

Condolences to you and yours Nancy.

 

Terrible loss for those who had the opportunity to know him and for a child that will never get to meet their grandfather.  This addiction takes so much...

I'm very sorry, Nancy.  I wish young people could understand the very real consequences of smoking but they rarely do, I didn't.  I've lost too many family members and dear friends from smoking and yet I continued to smoke.  That's a whole other story.  Prayers to you and your family.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
