I agree that it's terribly sad that Gord finds himself without the support of his wife at such a time. But one spouse going through a life-threatening situation, and surviving of course, is a major cause of divorce in the western world. I wonder who left whom? Now I expect many of you will tell me I should be minding my own business but after reading a story like that I think that's a critical detail. And if the question offends you I suggest you just ignore it.
