whumpee has a very close brush with death or dies temporarily (and is resuscitated or resurrected/revived by magic or scifi means)
and caretaker soon finds that the only way they can get any decent sleep anymore is laying with their head on whumpee's chest. the steady pulse of their heartbeat acting as a constant reassurance that they're okay, they're still here.
and then one day caretaker wakes up to silence.
