Last week, an elderly lady in my neighbourhood died on the pavement. She was walking her dog when she collapsed. Doctors and paramedics who live nearby tried to resuscitate her, but it was too late. At some point, an elderly man arrived on the scene. "This is my wife," was all he was able to whisper.
