ABSTRACT

After his prostate surgery Attis experienced more heart problems. He was still in his early seventies. One morning he woke up with severe chest pains and was taken to a hospital where he underwent further heart surgery, which was minor in comparison to his triple bypass operation. While he was recovering in the hospital, Linda’s husband, who had been ailing for some time, died. It was a while before Attis could visit Linda after this, and when he did he found her grieving. He encouraged her to grieve further.
