I wasn't sure if I would share this because it's so personal, but I've occasionally talked about her long battle with various forms of lung disease, and now that it's over it felt like I should say so.
It feels weird to the point of being surreal - I keep thinking of something I'll want to remember to tell her about the next time I talk to her, and realize that I will never talk to her again. It's the most obvious thing to say about death, that it's permanent, but even though this has been coming for a long time, and even though I've thought about it a lot and prepared myself as best I could, the starkness of the reality of it is genuinely shocking.
Anyway, I'll probably be in and out of contact for the next few days or so,
Jeff
