The condition of former Indonesian dictator Soeharto has improved and he has a good chance of recovering, his doctor said yesterday.
I guess it takes more than hoping.
Doctors said privately he had been near death.

Hmm, four years already... my most sincere continuing sympathies.
Our mum survived the big BC at seventy, 'though not without complications that occasionally make her remaining life a misery.
But it's the outward stigmata that seemingly cause her the most distress, such as the grotesque swelling of particularly her right arm, due to fluid build up (lymphedemia).
She sums it up pithily with: "I hate growing old..."
