## Resource

A mother’s relentless battle with Type 2 diabetes spiraled into unimaginable suffering—blindness, sepsis, leg amputation, kidney failure, and multiple life-threatening complications—culminating in her tragic death just days after a final, heartbreaking conversation with her husband. Michael, her devoted partner, recounts her descent with raw emotion, describing her final days as a “living hell” and her heroic resilience despite the agony. Now, he’s rallying for donations to honor her memory, hoping to bury her beside their daughter, and sharing their story to expose the devastating human cost of diabetes.
