May God Bless and Keep you both, been there, still going through it myself…
Prayers of peace to you both.
I’m so very sorry, Old_Wench. Peace and love to you both.
Thoughts, prayers, and a hug to you. I’m so very sorry.
Old_Wench, we’re pulling for you. I know a sudden loss is rough but take comfort in knowing that you have many people at your back.
I am so sorry for your loss. I always looked forward to ruble’s posts, particularly in the MMP. He made his life and yours seem to be one of the most successful marriages I have known about. You are and will be, on my mind and in my heart.
Prayers for peace, comfort, and support for you and your family, OW.
Thinking of you both, as I have been throughout the weekend.
I agree with this although it was Kopek’s posts I looked forward to in the Celebrity Death Pool threads. (I’d never heard of the MMP before and don’t know what that stands for, will someone please enlighten me). He loved to tease about the competition between the two of you, it was always light-hearted and loving.
God bless you Old Wench. Will 
for your and Kopek’s intentions.
I’ve been wondering about the MMB thing, as well.
**Old Wench **, I suck at moments like this. Nothing I can say would be adequate, but you have my condolences.
If you go to MPSIMS and look at the stickies, you will find this thread explaining MMP.
i have been following along on the thread. i’m so sorry that you have to make these heartbreaking decisions. i hope that kopek will have a painless and peaceful crossing.
I am so saddened to read this.
Kopek is greatly appreciated and even more greatly missed.
I enjoyed interacting with him; it was a pleasure.
Condolences to all who mourn this loss. And big hugs and etc. to you, Old_Wench. It is so hard to do those things that must be done and to give up expectations and hopes and simply do the right and good thing. It is the most selfless and loving thing I know.
Godspeed to kopek, and all best to all of you.

Update – There is astonishingly good news!
On Saturday, he started to react more and, much more importantly, breathe on his own (still with ventilator support). He has been doing both for longer periods of time and the doctors are quite surprised, said that their experience and test results indicated that this simply could not happen. Obviously they forgot to tell him!
He’s making more movements on command (sometimes), responding to questions with head movements, tracking with this eyes and turning his head to look further, following conversations and smiling when appropriate. He rolled his eyes last night when my aunt told him a stupid joke and also when I said something stupid to him. He pulled his hand away from mine when I asked him to. When I rubbed his stomach and asked him if it felt good, I got a huge smile. When I asked if he wanted a kiss, he immediately puckered his lips around the ventilator tubes and then frowned when I could only kiss his forehead.
Some very good friends were in to see him on Saturday and he really seemed to be stimulated by the activity and conversation. His brother is here today and he reacted well to seeing him (after initially looking a bit confused as to his presence since he lives in Florida) and he really smiled when shown a photo of his brother’s dog.
He’s still got a long road ahead and their next priority is to wean him off the ventilator.
This has been some crazy roller coaster ride – and not the kind I usually like – but I’m happy to stay in the seat. And I already told him the next stop is Georgia.

Happy for you! All of you!
You just filled this old man’s eyes with tears.
:jaw drop:
Great news!
OMG!!! And the sun is shining brighter today!! Give him a smooch from me - I’m too shy to suggest a belly rub!
<hopeful happy dance>
I’m happy to hear this and I hope he continues to improve.
