Hi Adean, I think it's wonderful that your hubby was so brutally honest, it strikes right to the core of your relationship. I know of others who have had heart attacks and the fear associated with having another heart attack can be so very debilitating. This fear does lessen with time. I don't think any of us would be human if we weren't scared when our lives which are normally so steady get threatened, and I also think that it can be the biggest learning curve we will ever be thrown. Acknowledging we get scared, petrified and then dealing with it, and then using it as a new perspective on our lives is to me a gift, one that can bring a renewed sense of pleasure in the mundane. Might be an idea for hubby to get a spot of counselling to help deal with his fear. Big hugs to the pair of you Xx
