When His Girlfriend Recently Lost Her Memory Following Surgery, He Couldn’t Help But Cry Because She Didn’t Know Who He Was
This 18-year-old guy has been with his girlfriend, who is also 18, for nearly two years. And he believes that she is the most amazing person he has ever met.
“She was the only person who understood me and was always there for me when I was at my lowest,” he said.
“Everything about her is a blessing for me.”
But, just two days ago, his girlfriend underwent a surgical thrombectomy. Then, she was unconscious for nearly 24 hours following the surgery.
Now, before the surgery, his girlfriend reportedly suffered from short-term memory loss ever since she was a kid.
However, after she woke up from this most recent surgery, she did not remember anything or anyone in her life at all– not even her dad or her older brother, who stayed with her at the hospital.
He admitted that he honestly has no idea how his girlfriend lost her memory from the surgery. All he knows is that when his girlfriend woke up, she was extremely confused and did not recognize anyone.
At that point, he attempted to show his girlfriend pictures of some special memories they shared together in hopes of jogging her memory. He also talked about how he confessed his love to her.
“I showed her pictures of us together we took on my eighteenth birthday and pictures of her wearing the promise ring I gave her,” he recalled.

Yet, despite his best efforts, his girlfriend claimed that she did not know him or her family. And he could not help but cry his eyes out.
To him, it felt like everything they had done together– the promises they had made and the future plans they had laid– were just erased.
“And I’m still in shock knowing that she might never remember anything at all,” he admitted.
So, as he grapples with the threat of permanent memory loss, he is now trying to figure out how to help his girlfriend.
He’s not sure if there’s anything else he can do aside from telling her stories about when they met. At the same time, he wants to figure out how to personally cope with this sad situation, too.
“I don’t want to leave her. She was my world, and I was hers. I want it to continue that way. I love her with all my heart,” he vented.
How would you feel if your partner no longer remembered you? What else can he do to help his girlfriend through this difficult time? How can he ensure that he takes care of himself, too?
