Opinion | I watched my partner die suddenly like Carrie Bradshaw did. But it was nothing like TV.

Queen Muse: Like Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw, I witnessed the love of my life have a heart attack and die right before my eyes. But it was nothing like TV. - NBCNewsTHINK

Parker’s character, Carrie, had the luck of being at a piano recital when Mr. Big’s heart attack began. I had no such luck. I was in the driver’s seat, trying to rush my love to the hospital for what he’d said was an unbearable stomachache.

In watching the show, the final episode of which comes out Thursday night, I couldn’t help but notice that it was these same things that were creatively omitted. When Carrie walks in from the recital and sees Mr. Big slumped over, the signs of life leaving his eyes, she doesn’t try to revive him. She doesn’t call 911. She hugs him; she holds him; she kisses his face.When my love died before my eyes, time felt like it didn’t exist.

No matter the number of tranquil death scenes we see on TV, where fingers gently close the eyes of the dearly departed as one teardrop falls and symphonies echo in the background, in real life, death isn’t pretty.
