Not sure if I have ever really talked about it on the list, but my wife and
I are part of a team that does a lot of crisis intervention and grief
counseling (we were just sitting down with a family hit by suicide when I
got the first news that Lesley was so sick).  One thing I have learned is
that life never returns to the old normal.  What we can do is create a new
normal... but I'm not even ready to think about that yet.  I'm still just in
the hurt.

Thank you, everyone, for all the kind words.  They mean more than I could
ever explain.

Nick
