#22I am so sorry to hear this. PSA: please, please enroll in a CPR class. It's incredibly simple to learn and administer and you will learn so many things like the role of aspirin, AED usage and of course cpr.
It sounds like the paramedics arrived in a timely manner. No need for PSAs today.

#23So sorry for your loss, Matt. She was far too young.

#24Why is this on HN?
HN community members have a long history of following Matt's work and interacting with him. He's someone who gives you the sense of being a good person even if you've never met him. He has helped a lot of HN users.
There are few people that this community has both respect and affection for, in such large and equal measure. I'd say that's why this is on HN.

#25Matt was a colleague in Google's early days. He embodied all of the best qualities of the organization. He can do anything he wants to, but he chooses to spend his time improving Google's search experience, and freely giving of his wisdom and expertise through his blog. If there was ever a person who did not deserve this, it's Matt.

#26Rejoice, Matt, for YOU are one of the few who for the rest of their lives get to say "We knew each other for 23 years and we were married for 18 years,"'till death did us apart. If I can say such a statement in the end I will cry one tear of gratitude for every tear of sorrow. I hope you can find the strength.

I just wanted to steal someone's attention while they are reading it. I know it's a bad time to talk about it, but really please register for a CPR class near you.
Totally sad and didn't in anyway mean to diminish this news.

#30Bro, this will take a long time. Be gentle with yourself. It is the club no one wants to be a member of. I wish you peace and comfort. ~ A 4 year widower of a 37 year old bright light in the world extinguished decades too soon
