When my husband died, because he was so famous and known for not
being a believer, many people would come up to me -- it still
sometimes happens -- and ask me if Carl changed at the end and
converted to a belief in an afterlife. They also frequently ask me
if I think I will see him again. Carl faced his death with
unflagging courage and never sought refuge in illusions. The
tragedy was that we knew we would never see each other again. I
don't ever expect to be reunited with Carl.
