AceShowbiz - Former "The Bachelorette" Trista Sutter was hospitalized on Thursday, June 1 after suffering a seizure during her family vacation in Croatia with her husband, Ryan Sutter, and their two kids, Maxwell 'Max' Alston and Blakesley Grace. The star took to Instagram to share a picture of herself from her hospital bed and recount the life-threatening moment.
The photo saw the ABC alum lying on a hospital bed with patches on her chest and an IV hooked up to her body. "This was me yesterday. …two hours after I had a seizure. …two hours after I fell on my daughter's chest & she watched, along with her brother & grandparents, in confusion & horror as her mommy stared blankly off into the distance & started turning blue. …two hours after we were supposed to have an adventure. An adventure to one of the most beautiful National Parks in Europe," she wrote in the caption.
She continued recalling the horrifying experience. "Instead, I ended up in a euphoric white dream that the voices of my husband and daughter pulled me from and I ended up in a Croatian hospital being poked and prodded and wondering 'why me?' But today, I had to ask, 'why not me?' I'm human," she wrote, before adding, "I have an expiration date."
She went on writing, "I've always envisioned that date being sometime after my kids have graduated college, met the loves of their lives and created families of their own." However, after the shocking and scary moment, she began to realized that "it could come anytime, in any country." Reflecting on the heartbreaking experience, she made a vow "to stress less. To love more. To listen. Be kind. Spread joy." She also made a vow to be a better version of herself as a wife, mother, sister, cousin, niece, aunt, neighbor, daughter and friend.
She also expressed her gratitude towards who helped lift her up as well as the Bachelor nation family for the well-wishes. "Thank you to the kind tourists & Croatians who held my hand, wiped my tears, and hugged my kids. You will forever be remembered," she added. She was also thankful for her family and Ryan, whom she met on the ABC show and later married in December 2003. "Without you, I don't know that I would be here today. You are my everything and I love you forevermore," she said.
