“I was at a wedding with my husband and grandson when my spouse suddenly collapsed.

“She did all she could to save my husband.
“My grandson and I were both crying hysterically, during this tough time a couple approached us.
“During this tough time a couple approached us. The wife hugged me, prayed for me reassured me that everything will be fine.
“They provided me some emotional support that helped me regained my sanity.
“The CPR was successful and they managed to revive my husband but he failed consciousness.”

“They were supportive.”
Maimunah added that her husband has since made a speedy recovery but still has breathing difficulties.
She also mentioned how the couple had come to the hospital a few days later to visit her husband and the family.
