Hi,
Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts inside the brain, bleeds and
causes swelling. Most often, hemorrhagic
stroke is associated with high blood pressure, which stresses the artery walls until they break. Other causes include aneurysm and malformation. This is less common but more frequently fatal than ischemic stroke. Long term hypertension, even if controlled may have contributed as in the case of your husband. It would really help if you discuss this with your doctor.
