I just started sobbing.
And I'm not kidding you.
That night I went to bed, I swear, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
Like, there's all these messages still, just these loving embraces.
And, you know, so loss, grief, suffering, it's our opportunity to really transcend that hurt, that pain, that suffering, and just arise this place, an awakening.
in a different capacity and a different appreciation for life where it's just so precious.
And it doesn't, you never lose that person that died.
It's really this acknowledgement of the persistence of love and how blessed am I to have the best love story in the world where some people will never experience that.
It was very hard though.
And that's why when I look in the eyes of the caregivers of the patients I'm helping, or when I occasionally have a patient who dies, which is actually very rare, I don't see women dying as much nowadays, but recently I've actually had two very close patients of mine die.
And it's so hard to see their children and their spouses, you know, and my heart just goes out to them.
What I would say is these women that die, die in grace.
And
If I fast forward through my heart failure, you know, I got stronger.
I went back to work.
I even did a hospital fellowship, became a hospitalist at Mayo.
And the heart started getting weak again.
And so this is when I transitioned to the outpatient setting and I started the integrative breast oncology program at Mayo Clinic.
It was actually an opportunity for me to get out of the hospital so I could try to function as a doctor with advanced heart failure.
And this was, you know, a good seven years after my husband had passed away.
