Part 2, Chapter 19 Summary

Travis describes his routine of helping Gabby with her exercises in the hospital. As he stretches her muscles to prevent atrophy, he reveals that he has developed a unique connection with her during these moments. Travis hears Gabby’s voice in his head, engaging in conversations that bring him comfort and a sense of closeness to her.

The narrative shifts perspective to a story about Eleanor and Kenneth Barker, a couple whose lives intersected with Gabby’s at the hospital. Eleanor, who had severe migraines, eventually passed away, but Kenneth continued to visit the hospital regularly since his life had revolved around caring for Eleanor.

Travis acknowledges the support he received from friends and family during the initial weeks of Gabby’s hospitalization. However, he grapples with the realization that no one can replace Gabby, and he becomes increasingly aware of the challenges he faces as a single parent. His rage toward his friends underscores the emotional turmoil he experiences as he wrestles with unfair feelings of punishment for his own loss.
