Hilary, I have only come across this, years later and reading with great sadness. This is a loss to us all but you have lost a brilliant partner and a wonderful support and love in your life. I remember seeing you both after my father death and the sense of loss that I still feel. I find some comfort that I saw how happy and loving you were together, and I will remember that day. I am lost for words and sad for your loss. I cannot imagine the world without Richard. A great human.
