A heartbreaking video is circulating online of a woman in China sitting by her husband's bedside as he takes his final breath, and her final words to him are heartbreaking.
Finding a partner for life is a blessing as having a teammate who supports you through thick and thin is something that shouldn't be taken for granted.
Heading into later life is when the bickering might really start to heighten, but it just confirms the strength of a bond when even in old age, couples still put each other first.
A video is being shared online from the Chinese website Douyin that shows an 83-year-old woman sitting beside her 87-year-old husband's bedside as he passes away.
As per the South China Morning Post, during the video, the woman from the Tianjin municipality can be seen stroking her husband's hair whilst whispering her final words to him.
"Walk to the light. Don’t get lost," she encouraged her husband who lay unconscious following a battle with lung cancer. "Let go of everything. If it’s time to leave, let’s leave without regret," she finished.
As per the outlet, the touching moment was recorded by the couple's grandson, Yi. He later revealed that his grandmother remained strong throughout the day and that she wanted her husband to not suffer any longer.

"Come home after your illness is cured. Let’s keep each other company for some more years and, at our 60th wedding anniversary, let’s ask our kids to hold a big party," she told him.
"I won’t come to visit you in the coming days. I will wait for you at home," she finished, which was enough to move everybody in the room to tears.
As per the South China Morning Post, people who viewed the video were also moved by what they had seen, as one person reportedly penned: "This is love. Despite how difficult it was for her to let go of him, she still hoped he would leave the world well."
