See How This Couple Spent Dying Moment Together After 64 Years Of Marriage

Dolores, 83 and Trent Winstead, 88, spent their final moments next to each other in a hospital bed. The couple who were married for over six decades have been through it all. The couple was blessed with two children, Sheryl and Eddie Winstead.

Trent, was hospitalized after his health condition worsened,  and his wife Dolores was always by his side in the hospital watching him struggle for life. After his health began to deteriorate, Dolores spoke to her daughter saying,

“I don’t know what I would do without him”

Dolores, was quite healthy and remained strong for the first two days of her stay in the hospital, however she all of a sudden started complaining of a headache and vomiting afterwards. She was seen by her daughter laying her head by her husband’s bed and when she tried to wake her, Dolores, wasn’t responding. Immediately, the doctors and nurses came to her aid, and put her in the emergency room where it was discovered that she suffered a brain hemorrhage. She was subsequently connected to a ventilator.

When the children informed their father about their mum’s situation, he was perplexed because she didn’t have any prior illness. He was taken to her room and began calling for her to wake up.

“Just ask God to wake her up,  he said to his children. He can create a miracle. I don’t know who I’m going to sit on the couch with and watch the news anymore” he said to his children.

Realizing the condition of both parties, the hospital management placed the couple in the same room for further treatment. In their final moments together, the couple lay next to each other and on the 9th of December which was five weeks to their 64th anniversary, Dolores passed on. When Trent heard this, he reached out his hand seemingly like he was blowing a kiss and then he said:

“You need to get her a pink casket, and a pink dress, because that’s what she wanted.”

By 4 p.m. the next day, just hours after his wife passed, Trent also passed on. His daughter spoke to Washington Post saying:

“Because she was gone, he just could not handle it. We just watched him die. She added that, after retirement, they spent endless quiet days together in their home, watching the 10 p.m. news on the couch every night, and going to church together every Sunday. He called her “Mama,” or by her middle name, Aileen, stealing kisses from her, and dancing with her at weddings. It sounds so simple but it was so sweet. They loved each other through the humdrum days. They were more and more in love every day.”

Dolores, was buried in a pink casket and Trent, was in a blue casket, just as they both wanted. They were buried side by side each other.
