--posted by rainflower on Apr 15, 2009
Yesterday I was in the chemo room where my husband is getting treatments. There, in a bed in a row across from us, was a young woman who looked so sad. Her husband was there with her for a while then I noticed he had left.
My husband was napping so I went over and talked to her. I found out she had ovarian cancer, she has a 12 year-old son who is afraid his mother is going to die and is worried about her husband. I comforted her as best I knew how. Her husband came back with lunch so I asked if I could give her a hug and did so then went back to my husband..I felt I made her day just a bit better.

Sometimes we keep things bottled up inside and can't share our feelings with those we love because we are afraid of causing them pain. You were the listening ear she needed. Thank you for being brave and kind. :0) May you too find peace and contentment soon. :0) ~Aurelia |
