““I’m very sorry for your loss,” Dr. Mulligan said, taking each woman by the hand. “I can offer you only one condolence. Your mother and father had true love. They had a love that spanned time. A love that will live forever. “Your mother died of a condition known as Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. This is commonly referred to as ‘broken heart syndrome.’ She couldn’t bear to live without your father and their love together. Her heart was broken, and I tried the best I could, but I couldn’t put it back together again.””
