A man's illness is his private territory and, no matter how much he loves you and how close you are, you stay an outsider. You are healthy.
Unless you're flat out dead, you have to think of some other questions like: what's on the other side? It brings up issues of God, or no God. How does he play into this? Or he, or she, or it? How does it all play into this?
There is no clear sign that the economy is turning the corner in a meaningful way.
