I Loved You Nine Times

Harper waits three years for neurosurgeon husband Harrison to remove her brain tumor. Nine times he abandons her for resident Paige. She leaves the table, signs a DNR, and goes to Zurich. Harrison loses everything, finds her too late—she refuses him and dies quietly. Years later his license is revoked. He spends his winters clutching her ashes, knowing he loved being needed more than saving his wife.
