Summary

Abstract: After Jack’s death, it took Anne time to get back into any routine at work. Because she was in a lot of pain, Anne wasn’t on call for patient care for the first year after Jack was gone. She fell into a deep depression from her grief but tried her best to function. Anne’s colleagues and friends such as Beverly Mahfuz, Walter Koroshetz, Jane Holtz, Sherri O’Grady and Rita Zollo (Jack’s secretary) all pitched in. Anne also turned to alcohol to ease her pain. She didn’t recognize that she had a problem with alcohol. Alice Flaherty, Anne’s colleague and trainee, helped her find a psychiatrist. Anne went to work every day and completed all her administrative work. There was a lot to do planning the new building – meeting with the architects and construction crews. Anne’s daughters managed at school despite their grief. Anne held a memorial in honor of Jack at a church. People came from the hospital and laboratory. Friends and family were there. Jack’s patients came. Neurologists from all over the country came. The next day, Anne took the urn of ashes with Jack’s dad, his wife, Jack’s sister and brother and their spouses, Ellen and Jessie, Jang-Ho and his wife and Nancy Serrell up to the graveyard in New Hampshire to say their goodbyes and put notes in the urn.
