Inspired by this thread.
Do you know someone for whom a relative sacrificed himself or herself? How do they feel about it?
Well, nobody died, but my uncle and aunt used to own a little store, and he got shot shoving her out of the way during a robbery. He was hit in the shoulder and it was evidently fairly serious, but he recovered with no ill effects. Mostly I remember her yelling at him in the hospital, “Howard, how could you be such a fool?”
I could so picture my wife saying something like that to me under those circumstances. 
Well, that’s how she deals with stress.
