And former Disney illustrator Gary Andrews can certainly agree with that. His wife died because of sepsis. Even though the doctor tried to find the real cause, they couldn’t, and only found out that it was sepsis postmortem.
The death of a loved one can be an incredibly horrible time for anyone, and that was definitely true for Gary. So rather than just drowning in his sorrows, he took out a notebook and started doodling through the tears.
I was crying so hard it was difficult to focus on the page. I was drawing through tears. Joy had been my soulmate for 19 years. She was beautiful, kind, generous and funny. We did everything together. When I lost her, I felt half of me had gone.
From the minute Joy was admitted to hospital, specialists from every department tried to find out what was wrong. They couldn’t have done more. It wasn’t until the postmortem that they narrowed it down to sepsis.
Blame and ‘what ifs’ won’t bring Joy back. Would she still be alive if I hadn’t been in Canada and a doctor had been called a day earlier? I can’t think about things like that.
What happened has happened and you just have to come to terms with it. I just want to move forward, to honor Joy’s memory and bring up our kids in a way she would have approved of.
