A HEARTBROKEN family has shared the intimate moment a beloved dog was allowed into the hospital to say goodbye to her owner who was ᴅʏɪɴɢ from ill.
Jessen, the man 33-year-old was surrounded by his family on November 30 as doctors said he was set to lose his sudden fight against the condition.
During Jessen’s final moments, his loved ones gathered around his hospital bed to say their goodbyes. Hospital staff allowed his dog Mollie in to say goodbye, with the moment being filmed by loved ones and later shared on social.
Michelle Jessen, Ryan’s sister, posted on the social networking site: “The hospital did the sweetest thing for us and allowed us to bring my brother’s dog in to ‘say goodbye’ so she’d know why her human never came home. If you knew my brother, he really loved his sweet dog.
So many people have asked — He thought he had a migraine, but it was a ventricular ғᴀᴛᴀʟ ʜᴇᴍᴏʀʀ.ʜᴀɢᴇ. They think it was brought on by high blood pressure, and there’s speculation that his frequent consumption of energy drinks may have contributed.
” THANK YOU to everybody for the outpouring of support, but I won’t be responding anymore. We are sincerely touched and humbled by others’ stories, their sharing in our sadness, and the kindness of so many people. Don’t worry about the dog! We’re keeping her!!! She’s part of the family.”
Since being posted, the video has been viewed almost 9million times.
His family confirmed that Ryan’s heart is going to a 17-year-old boy in California.
“As sad as it is to lose Ryan, we know his heart is going to bring so much joy to the family of the recipient. I wish Ryan could know what a difference his heart will make for that young man,” Michelle added.
