Love cures people-both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.

--Dr. Karl Menninger

　　　 I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him　 36　 that the main reason why I was　 37　 with them was my　 38　 to keep my family in Boston. My wife of 26 years old had recently died of a heart attack. A(n)　 39　 in Boston would also help me reduce some of the pain of the loss. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely sympathetic, and didn’t probe(调查)any　 40　 . He acknowledged my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another　 41　 .

　　　 After the next　 42　 of interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a　 43　 with him. He told me that he,　 44　 , had lost his wife. And he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had　 45　 the same pain as I had, a pain that was almost　 46　 to explain to someone who had not lost a loved　 47　 . He offered his business card and home phone number and　 48　 that, if I needed help or just wanted someone to　 49　 , I should feel　 50　 to give him a call, no matter　 51　 I got the job or not. He wanted me to know that he was there if I　 52　 needed any help.

　　　 From that one act of kindness, when he had no　 53　 whether we would ever see each other again, he helped me　 54　 one of life’s greatest losses. He turned the normal　 55　 business interview process into an act of caring and support for another person in a time of need.
