As a nurse at the cancer care center where I’ve worked for seven years, I’ll do almost anything to make a patient feel better. But when I met Patty at the center, in 2011, she didn’t want my help.
作为癌症护理中心的一名护士,我已经在那里工作了七年,我几乎会做任何事情让病人感觉更好。但2011年,当我在中心遇到帕蒂时,她不需要我的帮助。
She was a tiny 44-year-old single mom battling an aggressive head and neck cancer. Unlike many of our other patients, Patty was alone during her treatment, but no matter what I did. I couldn't get her to open up. She just buried herself in book or pulled a blanket over her head to fend off conversation.
她是一位44岁的单身母亲,正在与癌症作斗争。与我们的许多其他患者不同,帕蒂在治疗期间是独自一人,但无论我做了什么。我无法让她开口说话。她只是埋头看书,或者把毯子盖在头上,以避开谈话。

经过一年半的治疗,2012年8月,帕蒂被告知她的癌症已经扩散,我得知她活不了多久了。我的第一个想法是,“斯蒂芬会怎么样?”
Nurses at the center shared stories at their meetings about how bright and unusual the boy was. but no one seemed to know how to resolve the issue of what would happen to him when his mom died. My husband, Michael, who too works at the center, started hearing about Patty and Stephen.
该中心的护士们在会议上分享了这个男孩是多么聪明和不同寻常的故事。但似乎没有人知道如何解决他母亲去世后会发生什么的问题。我的丈夫迈克尔也在该中心工作,他开始听说帕蒂和斯蒂芬的事。
One morning in October, Patty quietly slipped away. Michael and I picked Stephen up after school, drove him to a nearby park, and sat on a bench by a pond. I finally managed to say, “Stephen, we're sorry to have to tell yo
