Comments

From Kumiko Nagano: i am so shocked by the news. i am very very very very depressed… makes me stop doing anything in front of me… maybe because i feel Nicholas might killed himself… of course, i hope it's not that, but whatever, it's a really really really sad that thinking of i won't have a chance to see him any more.

From SJT to Kumiko Nagano: Kumi-cha, it is most unlikely Nicholas killed himself. However, it has been a long time since he wanted his life. His health had been deteriorating badly, and he would not consult a doctor. The last time I saw him he said he was taking a walk every day, so he was looking after himself to some degree. On a larger view, he told me more than once that he could foresee no future he wanted to live for.

I miss him too. I don't share his despair, and see no reason you should. He was unhappy with his situation and clear he was unwilling to do what might have lifted him out of it. He had, he said, started over three times in his life, and did not have the energy to do it again.

Sometimes there is nothing to do with the people we love but to keep on loving them.

From Diana Young: I only met Nicholas maybe a couple of times but he was a memorable presence. You sound enormously bereft. I am very sorry. Keep the laughter with you.
