   Summary

   John is trying to cope with Sherlock's jump from St. Bart's, but he can't. He can't eat, he keeps hearing voices and remembering old cases. Even Mrs. Hudson can't cheer him up. A week after Sherlock is buried, a news article is released that sends John reeling, and on his way to Scotland Yard, more tragedy occurs. Is there any hope left for the ex-soldier, or is the rest of his life just a slow, downward spiral?
