UMarlene kunye noDon Bryce babetshatile iminyaka engama-53 xa babekhwela inqanawa yohambo olutofotofo ngehlobo elidlulileyo ukubhiyozela umhlala-phantsi kaDon wakutshanje.
Baceba ukuchitha uhambo lokuhamba ngenqanawa bendwendwela awona mazibuko adumileyo aseYurophu akhwele i-Holland America's Rotterdam.
“Kwaye, ndicinga ukuba ukusukela apho kukuqala kwesiphelo,” utshilo uMarlene.
Kwiintsuku ezilishumi elinesibini kuhambo, uDon Bryce wasweleka kumgangatho wekhabhinethi ka-2629.
"Bamgquma ngengubo kwaye ndagqibela ngoko ukumbona."
U-Lori Vaaga uqinisekile ukuba uyise uya kuphila namhlanje ukuba wayenokufumana unyango olungcono enqanaweni.
“Abazali bam bebekuhambo lwenqanawa kodwa kuvakala ngathi abasebenzi bezonyango bebesekhefini,” utshilo.
AbaSombululi beNgxaki badibanisa iintsuku ezine zokugqibela zobomi bukaDon, besebenzisa iirekhodi zakhe zonyango kwibhodi yeenqanawa, kunye neenkumbulo zenkosikazi yakhe nabakhweli ababini - uRobin Southward kunye noDeanna Soiseth - ababehlala kwiikhabhathi ezikufutshane.
“Le nto ibingenakwenzeka, ingakumbi xa saxelelwa ukuba kukho unyango olululo enqanaweni,” utshilo uDeanna.
Ngosuku lokuqala lobunzima bakhe beentsuku ezine, uDon wayegabha.
Iirekhodi zonyango zibonisa ukuba wafumana iyeza lokuthomalalisa iimpawu zakhe kubongikazi kunye nogqirha wenqanawa, uMark Gibson.
Kodwa ngosuku lwesithathu uDon watshintsha kwaye, ngokutsho kwentsapho yakhe, kunjalo nangonyango lwakhe.
UMarlene Bryce uthe akazange ambone umyeni wakhe egula ngolo hlobo.
Ngo-5:10 ekuseni, wabiza umongikazi.
Iirekhodi zibonisa ukuba umongikazi weza kwindlu yesi sibini kodwa akazange athathe zimpawu zibalulekileyo, kuphela ubushushu, kwaye wanika uDon iyeza lokuyeka ukugabha kunye nohudo.
Nangona kunjalo umongikazi wayevakalelwa kukuba uDon wayegula ngokwaneleyo ukuba agcinwe kude nabanye abakhweli.
Wamjonga wathi 'uvalelwe yedwa, awuphumi kweli gumbi.'
UMarlene uthi abasebenzi baseHolland America bamxelele ukuba uDon uphumile egumbini, bobabini baya kukhatywa enqanaweni.
Ngo-11: 20 kusasa ngosuku lwesithathu, uMarlene wathi uDon ubi nakakhulu. Wayebuthathaka, edidekile kwaye enokhohlokhohlo olungayekiyo.
Iirekhodi zonyango zibonisa uMarlene wabiza i-infirmary waza wathetha noDkt Gibson.
UGibson akazange eze kwi-cabin. Kunoko iirekhodi zibonisa ukuba uxelele uMarlene ukuba aqhubeke enika uDon Claritin kunye ne-Imodium.
URobin Southward owayekhwele apho ukhumbula oku: “Safumanisa ukuba ubuthathaka.
UDeanna Soiseth uthe uMarlene wayekhathazeke kakhulu kwaye uvakalelwa kukuba uDon akabi ngcono.
Ngo-5: 30 ngaloo ngokuhlwa, uMarlene uthi wayekhathazeke kakhulu waya kwindawo yokugula ukuze acele uDkt Gibson ukuba eze kwigumbi.
“Kwaye khange akwazi ukuza kuba wayengenaxesha,” watsho.
UMarlene uthi uGqr. Gibson wamxelela ukuba wayevala ikliniki ngentsimbi yesi-6 malanga. Wayeza kumbona uDon ngentsimbi yesi-8 ngentsasa elandelayo.
Ukanti amanqaku kagqirha athi uDon wayephucuka: “ukuphucula amandla, umdla…. usela ulwelo,” bafunda oko.
Kodwa uMarlene ugxininisa ukuba akukho ngqiqweni. Wathi ngewayengazange aye eklinikhi ayokuxela nje ukuba uDon uyachacha.
Ngentsimbi yesi-2 kusasa ngomhla wesine nowokugqibela wedabi likaDon, “Ulusu lwakhe lwalujika lube mnyama” ukhumbula uMarlene.
UMarlene wenze umnxeba ongxamisekileyo kumongikazi. Umongikazi akezi kwi-cabin, kodwa unengcebiso.
Wathi, 'Kulungile, mphathele into etyiwayo, umseze amanzi.'
Nge-4:40 am, uMarlene wafowuna okokugqibela kaxakeka.
Ngoku uDon uyagodola, kwaye ulusu lwakhe lumnyama kakhulu.
“Ndithe ‘umntu makaphakame apha, andiyithandi le ndiyibonayo.’”
Iirekhodi zibonisa umongikazi wafika nge-4:50.
Ugqirha ubizwa ngo-5:00 am, kodwa akafiki de kube yi-5:35, imizuzu emibini emva kokuba uDon Bryce ewile.
“Mhlawumbi ndandiziimitha ezintlanu kude naye esitulweni, ndambona esifa,” utshilo uMarlene.
Intombi kaBryce, uLori, inomsindo.
Umama kwafuneka abone indoda ayithandayo isifa phantsi phambi kwakhe kuba akukho mntu wayenokumamela xa ezama ukuthi uya esiba mandundu.
Ingxelo ye-autopsy ithi uDon Bryce wabulawa sisifo sentliziyo, kwaye uphawula ukuba unenyumoniya.
Asikwazanga ukufikelela kuGqirha Mark Gibson ukuze aphawule. Kwingxelo ebhaliweyo, iHolland America ithi iphonononge iifayile zetyala likaMnu Bryce.
"Umgca weHolland America uvakalelwa kukuba kukho ukungaqondi malunga nokhathalelo alunikiweyo kunye nokulandelelana kweziganeko," ifundeka le ngxelo.
Inkampani yathi uDkt Gibson kunye nabasebenzi bakhe bezonyango babesoloko beqhagamshelana neBryces kwaye abazange benze nto iphosakeleyo.
"Sizimisele ukuba abasebenzi bezonyango basebenze ngendlela efanelekileyo nangendlela efanelekileyo njengoko kufanelekile kweli tyala."
Usapho lakwaBryce lukholelwa ukuba ukuphelelwa ngamanzi emzimbeni kubangele ukuhlaselwa yintliziyo kaDon.
Bayabuza ukuba kutheni engazange anikwe i-IV Fluids, ngakumbi kuba wayenembali yengxaki yentliziyo kwaye enxibe i-pacemaker-into ephawulwe ngokufanelekileyo kwiitshathi zonyango zenqanawa.
Ukwenza izinto zibe mbi ngakumbi, emva kokufa komyeni wakhe, uMarlene Bryce uthi iHolland America yamshiya yedwa kwigumbi elihluthwe zonke iilinen zayo.
UDeanna Soiseth uthi: “Kwakusoyikeka, kwakusoyikeka ngokupheleleyo. “Wayelapho yedwa othukile.”
USoiseth wayengumphambukeli ogqibeleleyo ngaphambi kokuhamba ngenqanawa kodwa waba yintuthuzelo ephambili kaMarlene emva kokufa kukaDon.
Akukho mntu wamjongayo ukuze athi 'ufuna uncedo nkosikazi?'
IHolland America iyavuma ukuba abasebenzi bayo babenokwenza umsebenzi ongcono ukuxhasa uMarlene emva kokusweleka komyeni wakhe.
"Sixolise kuNksk Bryce," kusho iHolland America kwingxelo.
“Oku bekungafanelanga ukuba kwenzeke,” utshilo uMarlene. Kwaye andifuni ukuba yenzeke nakubani na.
Akafuni ukubona omnye umfazi esiza yedwa ekhaya esuka kwinqanawa yodidi oluphezulu.
U-Lori Vaaga wongezelela, "Utata uchithe ubomi bakhe bonke ezama ukwenza into efanelekileyo. Wayeyindoda ebekekileyo. Kwaye wafa ukufa okungeyomfuneko kwaphela. "
IHolland America ithi yinkokeli yeshishini kumayeza okuhamba ngenqanawa, kodwa usapho lakwaBryce luthi kukho into abangakuxeleli yona.
Umthetho waselwandle uthi iindlela zokuhamba ngenqanawa azinaxanduva ngezenzo zoogqirha babo kuba bengoonokontraka abazimeleyo.
AbakwaBryce bacinga ukuba wonke umkhweli kufuneka akwazi oku phambi kokuba bathathe uhambo ngomkhumbi.
