@MattWatchingWheels, you are not alone in dreading the utter pain and sadness you are going to experience when Paul departs from this life. He has brought jubulance, hope, and comfort to the masses, and the masses will mourn. I will be in that throng if I’m around to witness an Earthly existence that doesn’t include him breathing the same air we breathe. 

I’m dreading seeing the Fourm thread for the topic pop up that fateful day.

  

I recall seeing some awards show in the early 2000s where Paul was speaking to the audience.  Linda had died just a couple of years prior (1998).  He mentioned her, and referred to her as a “friend”.  What struck me was how utterly un-sad his expression and mannerism were — only pure love & serenity.  My sense was that he was so close to her, he knew she would want him to acknowledge her this way, not in some weepy way.  I kind of think he’d like us to do the same when he leaves us.  (I just broke my own rule — getting teary eyed here…)

  

He’s virtually given us his own funeral instructions in The End of the End – “no need to be sad.”
