Juyoung An's Obituary
We are terribly sad to announce the passing of my beloved wife JuYoung An, the love of my life. We met in Colorado in 2006 and got married in 2013. We have been to many places together and we have seen some amazing things. We spent quality time almost everyday, we sat on our couch every night and talked about work and life. We laughed together and shared many aspects of our traditions with each other. Although we had a good ride, she left us way too early on Sep 14th morning due to a sudden illness that progressed quickly. We were 28 weeks pregnant at the time this terrible tragedy took place. In her last moments the night before, she leaves us with a precious gift, our son, AJ - Aiden Jihun Mugan. As AJ was born prematurely, he will remain in the hospital for the next 7-8 weeks.
I don't know how to describe the moments of seeing a life leave as a new one comes to this world. Those images have been printed in my heart and mind. It is hard to get those images of JuYoung's last moments out of my mind.
I would like to thank friends and family who have been with me in this terrible time. I am grateful for everyone who has reached out to share this pain.
I held our son AJ, for the first time on Sunday, 5 days after his birth. Though this magical moment brought a smile to my face, it was confusing for me to feel happiness. I have a new purpose in life and that is my son. I need to stay strong strong for my son. I need to stay strong for my son and be there as he fights through the next couple of months.
If you would like to pay your respects, please stop by next weekend. The funeral will take place on September 25th from 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM, at Chapel of the Chimes, 4499 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94611
