"My Heart Is Broken," Cindy McCain on losing her husband of 38 years
Cindy McCain is mourning the death of Senator John McCain, her husband of 38 years. “My heart is broken,” tweeted Cindy, minutes after her family announced that the Arizona Republican senator died at the age of 81 on Saturday.
“I am so lucky to have lived the adventure of loving this incredible man for 38 years,” she continued. “He passed the way he lived, on his own terms, surrounded by the people he loved, in the place he loved best.”
McCain, the celebrated war veteran, and outspoken Republican politician nicknamed "The Maverick" for being unafraid to disagree with fellow members of his party and rise above bipartisan politics, died Saturday night after his family announced the previous day they would be discontinuing treatment for the aggresive brain cancer he was diagnosed with last year.
