I Thought My Husband Was Snoring—But It Was So Much More
It was supposed to be just another peaceful night for Lisa Lee and her husband, Lewis. The young couple, both 25, had no reason to think anything unusual was coming their way. But one fateful night turned Lisa’s world upside down.
Lisa woke up to a strange sound beside her. It sounded like snoring, but she knew it was unusual for Lewis, who never snored. Without thinking twice, she nudged him, hoping he’d turn over and stop.
That’s when she noticed something was wrong.
The sheets were damp, and a sense of dread crept over her. Panicking, Lisa turned on the light. What she saw froze her in place: Lewis’s face was bruised, and his breathing was labored.
“I thought he was just snoring, so I pushed him to stop,” Lisa shared in an interview. “But then I felt the sheets were wet. I turned on the light, and his face… it was bruised. He couldn’t breathe. I was terrified.”
Lisa grabbed her phone and called for an ambulance. Minutes stretched into what felt like hours as she tried to keep calm and hope for the best.
But by the time paramedics arrived, it was too late.
The heartbreaking reality hit her like a tidal wave: Lewis had already passed away.
Doctors explained what Lisa had heard wasn’t snoring at all. The sound came from air escaping through Lewis’s vocal cords—a haunting clue that something was terribly wrong.
Lewis had been diagnosed with Brugada syndrome, a rare heart condition, just a year earlier. While doctors warned of potential risks, they had reassured the couple that Lewis could live a long, healthy life.
But the syndrome had other plans.
Lisa’s grief is unimaginable. To lose someone you love so suddenly and unexpectedly is a pain no one should endure. “I couldn’t believe it. One moment we were fine, and the next, he was gone,” she said.
Our hearts ache for Lisa and her family. May Lewis’s memory bring them strength during this difficult time.
