I spent a lot of time with Dave at this past Blade Show, and he was hurting bad most of the time. I don't think he ever made it to dinner any of the nights there. During the day he was taking heavy meds for the pain and needed a cane to get around. He wasn't the same guy from a year before at Blade.
His wife's tragic death must have been the straw that broke the Gerbil's back. I prayed that God would give him the strength to get through the first period of grieving. The holidays would take additional strength from him.
What do you do, and what can you say when life agonies are piled upon someone you care a great deal for? Nothing, all you can do is hope for the best and expect the worst. I have to tell you this is not even close to the worst that could happen.
First of all he's alive, and being cared for. Maybe he'll even get help he wouldn't have if the situation were different.
If you pray, now would be a good time.
God grant him strenght.
