The Remarkable Act of a Stranger

On the day Tessa's father passed away, she found an unexpected person, Becky Bice, in his hospital room. Becky, a cheerful and spunky individual, had dropped by and ended up being present at the exact moment of Tessa's father's death. Contrary to expectations, Becky's unfettered and happy demeanor was a source of comfort. Becky had recently experienced the loss of her husband and had learned that talking to the dying in a calm and joyful voice can bring them comfort. Tessa believes that Becky's lively voice might have been the last one her father heard before he passed, highlighting the unexpected nature of comfort in moments of acute trauma.
