Step 2 · Editorial composite · Unexplained Phenomena
The Light in Room 7
I've seen it more than thirty times in my twenty-year career. A light — not electrical, not reflected, not explainable — that fills the room for just a few seconds after a patient dies. Every nurse on our unit has seen it. Nobody talks about it.
Step 3 · Editorial composite · Ethical Dilemmas

Step 4 · Editorial composite · Moments Of Hope
The Quietest Room
The room had beige walls, a box of tissues on the table, and a chair positioned so the patient could see the door. I had delivered bad news in that room hundreds of times. Then one patient asked me to sit down, take a breath, and tell her the truth like a human being — not like a doctor.
