Too often, women don’t realize they are suffering from a heart attack and wait too long to get help. Find out the signs of a heart attack or stroke here and share this link with other women in your life.
Remember you can’t take care of other people if you don’t take care of yourself first! Just like when you are on a plane and they go through the safety announcements, you must put your oxygen mask on BEFORE assisting others. Stay safe mommas!

This reminds of my mom who had died of a heart attack at an early age. There were 10 of us…
Lola and Jamie, sorry to hear that! May your mom rest in piece Jamie!
This would be my mother right on the nose. She’s refused surgery to take care of others. Luckily I’m old enough to make her take care of herself.
interesting to watch, I have never seen a Young healthy looking person portrayed as a Heart attack victim. Well done.
Honestly, it’s HARD to do that, but I DO try to carve out some ME time at least once a week. It’s better for everyone that I do.
So many of us women are guilty of this aren’t we? I know my mom was and I know I am from time to time!
Thanks for this!
Yes I guess we really are Anna
This is SO true – we have to be aware of ourselves, first. However, the sad fact is that many women going to the ER with heart attack symptoms are not taken seriously as cardiac emergencies by the ER personnel. Too often, women’s symptoms are quickly assumed to be “PMS”, “hormonal”, or “menopause-related”. Wake up, RNs and MDs!
it does not have to be a lot.some little time oneself to recoup.for me personally I use to think was the glue that has been holding everything and everyone up forever and that if im not there 24/7 all will collapse.not so.they have been taught well by me.of course they’ll be fine. its taken years to figure this out.
