How do you release someone you've just started to know and love? Someone who shares your breath, your blood, your heartbeat. Yet, they cannot feel the warmth of the sun, the scent of the rain, or the vast blue sky. All they experience are the medical monitors’ beeps and the distant voices of caregivers. Your voice brings fleeting smiles, quickly fading from the effort. Each time you leave the hospital, a piece of your heart stays behind. You understand you must let go, but your heart and mind are at odds. Inside, you’re broken, but no one sees it. How can you find comfort in this pain?
