@lynnecoyle1 & @girlbeforemirror,
Love your take on coping
Me too ... that's the part that hit me the hardest. I had never thought of "coping" in the way Marg expressed it and it struck me as being "profoundly true." There is a purity of metal that can only be obtained via the fires of a crucible and, I suspect, the same could be said of human beings.
Such hard-fought-for quintessence of humanity is, perhaps, why I'm so impressed with the two of you.

Aww shucks. Thank you :)
That idea of "coping" has been the hardest for Brian, and I think that's why her thoughts really struck me. He's lived his life very well and hates not being able to do that now. It's all not right on so many levels.
