I’ll echo a point CT made: your being there is profoundly important and valuable. I was very fortunate that my wife was able to spend each hospital day with me. Although I was “well prepared” for the procedure, I was also frightened, uncomfortable, angry, and in poor control of myself and (especially) my environment and circumstances. I have no doubt that I was difficult to be around, and she nevertheless provided an anchor when everything else seemed untethered. It was about 16 years ago and I’m feeling strong emotions as I write this. You are the gift.
