No.Thats a great thread but i want to clear something up. The denzel flashback happens before the whole Geostigma crises and before he visits elmyra (I think but I could be wrong) so its not really a good reason as to why he never even calls her in my opinion
Cloud & Tifa goes well before Elmyra trigger him by delivery order of flower bouquet to Aerith's grave.
Then Cloud starts drinking and going to the church without telling Tifa. That's when and where he finds Denzel later on.
Things goes well again till he's got the same illness as Denzel--the illness he wants to cure as he thought Denzel is his redemption to live sent by Aerith; then he feels useless, dying, and leaves.
