The divorce papers were signed under fluorescent lights that hummed above a hospital corridor thick with antiseptic and iron. Inside the ICU, I lay motionless, machines breathing for me after an emergency C-section delivered our premature triplets and nearly took my life. My body had flatlined for a moment.
