would be to head off on some big foreign junket.

Unless she has some sort of “inside insight” that he’s about to move THROUGH Death’s Door. But, shit, come on! Not even then.

If she’s important enough to go on an overseas junket, she’s important enough to ask for a postponement. Or could they come see her, so she can stay close to her ailing husband?

Seriously. And gestures count. Gestures have their own language, when it comes to making a difference.
