My mother was so terrified of living without her cancer-stricken husband she died from a broken heart – passing away three days before him [Video]

A mother terrified of living without her cancer-stricken husband died from a broken heart when he went into end-of-life care – passing away three days before him.

Sharon Dann, 54, and Wayne Dann, 57, from Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire, had been married for almost ten years and referred to each other as ‘soulmates’.

Wayne, who had previously undergone radiotherapy for cancer in his groin, discovered it had spread to his lungs meaning he had to undergo surgery in October last year.

Despite doctors’ best efforts, the family found out the 57-year-old had a sarcoma in February and would need chemotherapy.

But in March, the landscape gardener was blue-lighted to hospital when his condition deteriorated, with his 54-year-old carer wife refusing to leave his bedside for six days.
