Lilly was floating in darkness before jolting awake in a sterile hospital room. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she scrambled to find her bearings and locate her husband. “Where is he?” she cried out, her voice shaky and confused. Pradeep was there, of course, but Lilly didn’t recognize him at first. Then the realization set in, and she understood she was in the emergency room and something was very wrong.
The pain returned, and she felt very weak. Finally, the doctors rushed to her side, and Lilly knew she wasn’t lost in limbo anymore.
