During Chemo, you talk to Bill, who is in the chair opposite you. Bill is in his seventies, and has been in out of hospital with various complaints for about 15 years. Now, obviously, he has some form of cancer.
You like Bill. Bill tells you that his wife is ill too. Bill tells you he doesn't want to be here anymore, and you don't think he's referring to the chair that he's in. Suddenly, you don't know how to respond. For once, you apply the brake that means you don't - like normal - say literally the first thing that comes into your head. It's almost worse though because his words just...hang, solidify, in the air.
