I don't know of anyone who would take comfort seeing their wife turned into a lump of agonized suffering flesh by a devastating chronic disease, literally caught in an absolute living hell from which the only release will be death, abandoned (not actually since he was never there in the first place) by her god, experiencing a total and complete failure of her and her husband's cherished belief system. Were someone to somehow find that 'comforting' I would question their humanity as well as their sanity.

I appreciate the discussion but I have to quit. I can't go on with this anymore.
