"No one deserves it, Robin. But everyone who went to those front lines knew what they were getting into. She was brave. You should be proud of her." Though she meant the words to be comforting, they sounded empty to her ears. She'd never been fond of the 'dying like a hero' motto. Possibly because, as a teenaged girl, she'd had one of those heroes out on a battlefield. And she risked losing him at all times. For no matter how long Robin had been gone, she still loved him.
She could care for him. Tend to his injuries, make sure he got his medications. She was his wife. In sickness and in health, right? She'd signed up for this. "I'll talk to the doctors. Maybe we can see about shortening your stay if you've got a nurse who loves you and wants to see you healed sooner rather than later."
