Somewhere on the hospital ward, a woman was singing, her voice loud enough to disrupt my thoughts. My focus was on my husband, Bill, lying in the bed in front of me. He needed all the prayer and attention I could give him, even in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n

The painkillers the doctor had prescribed were helping him sleep, but the medication to treat the shingles infecting his eye had brought on frightening side effects. He\u2019d been in the hospital for nearly a week, and he wasn\u2019t getting any better. He\u2019d taken leave from his job as a manufacturing engineer, couldn\u2019t drive, couldn\u2019t trust his balance, felt constant pain. It was awful seeing him like this. Bill was only 62, vital, energetic. An avid hiker and mountain climber. I wished there was more I could do for him, some comfort I could give him. I felt hopeless, alone. Lost on a journey I couldn\u2019t see an end to. I was praying constantly<\/a>, but God felt unreachable.<\/p>\n

Only a couple months before, Bill and I had celebrated our fortieth wedding anniversary<\/a>, vacationing in beautiful Banff, Canada. We\u2019d planned to go backpacking, but changed our minds when Bill complained of headaches. The pain grew excruciating on the drive home. It was weeks before doctors diagnosed the cause as shingles. It seemed my husband couldn\u2019t catch a break. Ten years earlier Bill had been diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a cancer that was essentially untreatable. Periodic chemotherapy had allowed him to maintain an active lifestyle, but his immune system was vulnerable. It felt like we were walking a trail along a precipice, just one false step away from calamity.<\/p>\n

\u201cStay strong,\u201d I whispered to him now. \u201cWe\u2019ll get through this together.\u201d I doubted he could hear me, but no matter. At the moment it was me who needed reassurance.<\/p>\n

The woman. She was still singing. The words to \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d<\/a> filtered through the air. \u201cI once was lost and now I\u2019m found\u2026\u201d Did she not realize how her voice was carrying?<\/p>\n

I trained my thoughts back on Bill. We\u2019d spent the majority of my 59 years together and had faced other challenges in our marriage. The first 20 years, actually, had been difficult. We bickered constantly, and not over anything important. Still, the arguments were heated. Both of us were stubborn, strong-willed. We were each so intent on making our own points that we didn\u2019t have the patience to listen, had no interest in compromise. Bill would leave the house in a fury and go hiking, his way of cooling off. Which only made me more upset and resentful. I wanted to keep fighting. A few marriage counseling sessions got us nowhere.<\/p>\n

Finally, we committed to spending 12 weeks in a couples communication class. We learned how to listen to each other, to repeat back what we heard the other one saying, to validate one another\u2019s feelings. We followed the facilitator\u2019s advice to plan weekly activities together. Often, we went hiking, away from everything, deep in the forest, huffing and puffing up steep switchbacks until at last we reached a majestic peak. Alone together, urging each other along on our journeys, it was like I was meeting Bill for the first time, falling in love with him all over again. A love we\u2019d nurtured these last 20 years. With Bill in a weakened state, I had to remain strong, to honor that love for the both of us.<\/p>\n

There was no ignoring the woman\u2019s singing anymore. It had gotten louder, more soulful. I went out to the wing of rooms that circled the nurses\u2019 station and followed the sound. I stopped when I found the source a few rooms down from Bill\u2019s.<\/p>\n

I peeked inside the doorway. The room was darkened. An older woman in a bright blue dress sang to her loved one in the bed, her voice comforting, soothing. \u201cPrecious Lord, lead me on\u2026\u201d I listened to one gospel hymn after another. I didn\u2019t make eye contact with the woman. Her gaze never left the patient she watched over. But her beautiful words enveloped me, held me in a safe embrace. I knew the woman in blue wasn\u2019t singing to me, and yet I couldn\u2019t help but feel that I\u2019d been meant to hear her. No one was looking out from the other rooms. Even the nurses didn\u2019t look up. The moment was personal, private even.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to intrude. I tiptoed back to Bill\u2019s room, lifted up by the words of those hymns<\/a>. I didn\u2019t know what the future held. I only knew that Bill and I were in God\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n

The next morning, I went back to the room where I\u2019d seen the woman in blue. I wanted her to know what peace she\u2019d given me. But the room was empty. The moment we\u2019d shared felt even more divine. As if I\u2019d been blessed by an angel.<\/p>\n

When Bill awoke, he was a new man. The pain that had plagued him receded. His sense of balance was restored. He was discharged in the afternoon, and we went home. Within days Bill was talking about going back to work.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t to last. Weeks later the pain returned, as bad as ever. One night, Bill tossed and turned, unable to sleep. \u201cI feel like I\u2019m going to explode,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I can make it through the night.\u201d<\/p>\n

My mind raced, wanting somehow to soothe him. Then in my mind I saw the image of the woman singing, her voice filling the sterile hospital halls. I took Bill in my arms. \u201cJesus, lover of my soul\u2026\u201d I sang softly. Bill nestled against me. Moments later he was breathing evenly, asleep. For a second time, it seemed, the angel in blue had found a way to comfort us both.<\/p>\n

Not long after that, Bill had a stroke<\/a>. His health rapidly worsened. And yet the last days we spent together were some of the most meaningful, most beautiful moments of our entire marriage. We freely shared our love for each other in an outpouring of emotion. Every minute to be treasured. I grieved that I was losing Bill, but I wouldn\u2019t have traded that time together for anything. The peace I discovered upon my encounter with the captivating woman in blue never left me.<\/p>\n

Bill and I had promised to love each other in sickness and health, acknowledging that there would be challenges along the way. How little did we know. And yet we were better for the struggle. It seemed a bit like a strenuous hike. How difficult it felt. Punishing, even. And then we would reach the summit with its glorious view, and I understood that the reward was in the journey.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
