Do you mean what do I do there ?
If so … it’s very simple, i’m only a number #2 operator, like a co-pilot - only
there in case anything happens to the number #1 operator, ie. de-pressurise the chamber and let the customers out !
Although I usually do the #1 stuff - which is also very simple !, (ie let the
pressure in and monitor the customers) so the actual #1 operator can get
on with admin stuff.
yes, exactly, thank you for filling that in 
I already messaged you as I went through something similar recently. My ex, who had MS, but we always got back together, died in Sept. and I found out by calling the nursing home. It was a shock. When we know our loved ones are dying, we can somewhat mentally prepare.
You have many good memories.
You may even get a “sign” eventually and that helps.
It also helps to know the suffering has ended.
Many hugs to you.
It didnt occur to me to post my loss here as I figured no one cares much for me, but we all love you and send online hugs.
You are most definitely one of the few, the proud, the teeming. I’m sorry you lost your friend.
This^.
Losing an ex-, whether you were still in love, just cordial, or hated each other’s guts, is still a loss of somebody who was once big in your life.
You rate our concern too.
Hey!
We care about each other here and yes that includes you.
I’m sorry for your loss, and also sorry that no one notified you; that must have been a shock, to find out when you called.
I may have had disagreements with you, but it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t care if you were hurting. Empathy is one of the things that may get @pjd and heck, a whole lot more of us through the next few weeks/months/years.
For people who are willing to share empathy for others, which I’m sure all in this thread are doing, even if I/we have our moments where we’re uncharitable.
So to @pjd, @SuntanLotion, and everyone reading and participating in the thread, take care of yourselves and remember you’re not alone.
What @ParallelLines just said. We’re all connected, as Dopers. That doesn’t mean we can fix the pain that others are feeling, but it does mean we say, and we mean it, “hey, I hear you. Your pain affects me, I care, you aren’t alone.”
I never thought I’d be sharing my news with a bunch of people on the
internet, but I know many here have, so I did. And it definitely helped
a lot. No doper is an island.
I’m very sorry for your loss @SuntanLotion
I’ve been thinking about you and your situation today…. For what it’s worth, you’re not completely alone. Let me know if you think there’s anything I can do to help. Unlike many of your Dopey friends, I’m at least on the right island 
Thanks EG, that’s very kind of you.
I do have some friends and family who are helping.
And all my sdmb friends of course !
