Comforting a Mother in the Chemo Room
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.
