Individualism and Grief

<p>Of the many, one of the more difficult moments of the pandemic for me was when standing in the lobby of a medical facility, I was told that my wife couldn&rsquo;t go into the doctor&rsquo;s office with me. It was my first meeting with my new surgeon &mdash; who would soon be removing cancer cells from my body &mdash; and I panicked on the inside: how could I do this without my wife? I wouldn&rsquo;t think of all the right questions! I wouldn&rsquo;t be able to hear and process everything the surgeon was saying! I needed someone there whose body wasn&rsquo;t going to be scarred and altered! I needed someone to be my advocate!</p> <p>I wasn&rsquo;t prepared to go it alone.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/equality-includes-you/individualism-and-grief-a6ac59e4b1ea"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
