Oh Connie.
I don't have words. Please let us know how/if/whether we can help at all.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So much sympathy and care heading your way, Connie. You made him so very happy--hang on to that truth.

Oh, Tom. Thank you.
I had to make the call that the doctors said was inevitable. They were boosting his blood pressure with extraordinary amounts of drugs, and his liver and kidneys had already failed. I called several people, and I shouldn't have been surprised that they came. His daughter didn't believe me when I said it was bad, really bad. His sister called her a few hours later to tell her flatly that if she wanted to say good-bye to her father to get up there.
He'd stopped responding several hours previously. He wasn't even squeezing my hand any more. So I told them to let him go, made sure his Thor's hammer was in his hand, told him that he wasn't unarmed and to go with the Valkyries, and held his hand and told him I'd be all right.
He was supposed to come home. He was supposed to beat this. I kept waiting for him to wake up. My last conversation was over a bad cell phone connection. Our 30-year conversation is done. But I promised him I'd be all right and I'd take care of myself. This is going to be so very hard.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My condolences, Connie.
