I still cry when I recall this incident

For eight months in 2022, my husband was in and out of hospitals and nursing care facilities. What started as a major back operation from which he was not recuperating as expected, ended with a diagnosis of metastatic lung cancer.
Towards that latter part of those eight months, during one of my visits to see my husband in our local hospital, I encountered my doctor, Dr. MIchele Leder, in the elevator. I don't know if we hugged right there in the elevator, or when she ushered me to the physician's lounge, but she sat me down, and we talked. I know she was concerned for my emotional state...how I was doing? I really don't know if Dr. Leder knew how truly serious at that point my husband's condition was, and quite honestly I don't know if I fully realized it either.
We sat for a while and talked, not that I can recall what was said. That doesn't matter. Dr. Leder's act of kindness that day is what will remain with me always.
