A children's psychologist described as "the perfect dad and husband" has died suddenly at the age of just 32.
Dr Stephen Wright had sent a heartbreaking final text to wife Charlotte when she asked if she should let his mother know he was in hospital, replying: "Not yet."
Charlotte told Kent Live how just a few hours before his death last week they had put the kids to bed and watched TV together.
But in the early hours of the morning on January 26, Mr Wright suffered two massive bleeds to the brain.
The mental health specialist lived with Charlotte and two young sons in Sevenoaks.
He had been due to start a new position as senior clinical psychologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital last Monday.
Charlotte said: "I made him dinner and he didn't want to eat it, which wasn't like him.
"But we got the kids to bed and we were watching TV together and Stephen fell asleep.
"He woke up complaining of pins and needles in his arm.
"After half an hour they hadn't gone away and we did the stroke test and his arm was moving to one side on its own.
"He said 'Char, I'm not doing that'.
"That's when we started getting worried and called the ambulance."
When paramedics arrived, Stephen had a high blood pressure and they advised taking him to hospital for further checks.
Due to coronavirus rules Charlotte was not allowed to go with him, but tearfully retold how she was grateful they had said they loved each other twice before he left.
Stephen carried on communicating with her as he waited for an MRI scan, replying that she didn't need to let his mother know that he was in hospital.
"Not yet" would be his tragic final text to his wife.
An initial scan discovered bleeding on Stephen's brain, and a second one would discover further significant bleeding. He had suffered a very rare cerebral venous stroke.
Stephen was placed on life support and kept there for several days having made clear he wanted his organs to be donated.
It allowed Charlotte to see him at King's College Hospital one last time.
She said: "I don't think it's really sunk in yet, maybe because I got to see him when he was still warm.
"It's completely indescribable.
"I think the only reason I'm still functioning is for my boys.
"I thought I was strong enough to stay at the house on my own, but I'm not.
"I've been staying at my parents because being around other people and talking about other things seems to be the only way I can cope."
