Facing Another Funeral, Without 'Falling Apart'

[Reviewed and updated September 2, 2025]

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
~ English Nursery Rhyme

A reader writes: My brother passed away from colon cancer 18 months ago. I spent the last two weeks of his life with him. It was a horrible, painful death and I don't think he ever came to grips with it, thinking that he would somehow be OK even in his final days. He didn't want people to fawn over him or feel sorry for him, so I was the only person other than his wife that he asked to be there.
