As Tenet and the striking nurses resume negotiations a few things to notice:
The nurses were not striking for pay or hours but for staffing ratios they consider essential to patient care.

While the story told here is about a particular person, in a particular time and place, with a particular son, Freeman offers the reader a philosophical contemplation on the meaning of love and loss, inviting us to reflect on who we are in relation to others in our lives, and the trouble of making sense when those
