Till Death Do Us Part: Heartbreaking Pictures Show Couple's Last Moments Together in Intensive Care After Husband Made Dying Wish to Hold His Sick Wife's Hand Just One More Time

Couple's last moments together in intensive care after husband's dying wish
These heartbreaking pictures show a couple holding hands as they said their final goodbye to each other in intensive care. Jim Minnini (pictured in hospital, holding hands with his wife Cindy, left, and with her, left), 58, was in hospital with terminal lung cancer on May 4 when he made a desperate plea to see his wife, Cindy, one more time. Cindy - who was recovering from a heart attack she suffered after Jim was hospitalised - was in the next room after doctors transferred her to Kingston General Hospital, in Ontario, so she could be with her dying husband.

She was sedated and was not conscious when her partner of 24 years was taken into her room, and she did not know he had been with her until after she woke up - but by then her husband had died. The touching photographs of the couple holding hands were shared by their son, Chris, who said his father was not prepared to die without saying goodbye to the love of his life.


Chris, 21, told The Whig that his parents were perfect for each other, and were 'inseparable' from day one.
He said his father was over the moon when, back in 1994, he found out Cindy was pregnant. 
'He started crying, he was so happy. It was the best day of his life. That's all he had ever wanted,' he said.

They lived a happy life together until eight years ago, when Jim was diagnosed with lung cancer. He fought it off twice before being told in 2012 that he had just a 10 per cent chance of survival.
After around 75 chemotherapy and radiation therapy sessions, he was admitted to hospital in Kingston in late April and placed in intensive care.
The next day, Cindy had a heart attack and was rushed to a hospital in Brockville, Ontario.
Jim battled lung cancer for eight years with his wife by his side, and was told in 2012 that he had a 10 per cent chance of survival
