ANSWER: The husband just said "I am with you Darling"The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. Thechild is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no pointin finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken timeto keep the bottle away, this would not have happened... No one is tobe blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.”If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, therewould be much fewer problems in the world”
