\u201cWe\u2019re just concerned.\u201d Doctor Rivera leaned in and studied Megan. \u201cIt\u2019s only been two weeks and you\u2019re already back at work. Losing a spouse requires time to grieve. What we do here is emotionally draining; we absorb so much from our patients. Are you sure you\u2019re ready to be back?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\u201cI can\u2019t be alone in that house, Shaun.\u201d Megan looked earnestly at her friend. \u201cEverything reminds me of her.
