Sci-fi story ID: man watches girlfriend's spaceship entering a 'black hole' (?) forever
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I read a sci-fi story in a collection of shorts about 10 years ago, I believe they were stories from 70s possibly and have been trying to track down the title.
My recollection is that a number of ships encountered problems with a black hole or similar timey-wimey space object, and the ship belonging to the protagonist's girlfriend/love interest sacrifices itself to save the others. The 'black hole's' properties being what they are, the man goes on to live his life on Earth where the ship is visible in space, stuck in the moment of their sacrifice forever.
