Only love can hurt like this in A new era

One of my patients is dying. He's in his mid fifties. In the name of providing better care for families whose loved ones die in hospital, we now have access to camp beds for their loved one to sleep on.

My patients wife had hers up last night, right alongside her husband, snuggled up to him. She had brought a blanket from home, and they were both carefully covered with it.

It was such a beautiful moment, but so utterly heartbreaking at the same time. I honestly have no idea how she's done it. In truth he looks like a corpse in the bed already. I guess it just goes to show the power of love and what it can overcome. It was blatantly obvious that all she saw when she looked at him was her husband, the father of her children, the man she loves unconditionally.
