When my mother had heart failure she was rushed to the ER (with my father at her side). He told me when I got there, after she had already died, that they had worked so hard to save her. I honestly felt it was something of a comfort to him that they had done that (I assume with CPR, AED, etc.). She did not have a DNR (I was called by the ER nurse to confirm that - even though my father was present and told them - I think they wanted to double check). My father has an DNR and a DNI. I have been called every time he has been in the ER or hospital to confirm this.
