Matt promised he would always take care of you. He helped you move out of your parents’ house, he helped you move into your dorm, he helped you fill out the divorce papers when the time came. Now it was your turn to help him.

After the shark, Matt could hardly get out of bed on his own. He lost all motivation; all he wanted to do was lie on the couch and watch the television. Matthew Hooper, a renowned oceanographer, will not wither away, not on your watch. You do just about everything you can. You bring him coffee in the mornings, (attempt) to get him to talk about it, show him all the love in the world, but nothing seems to help.
