There was none of the "dignity in dying" crap, and he wasn't very comfortable. He just died, slowly, painfully, and unable to move or communicate. It was pretty horrible.
The hospice nurses were pretty, so I suppose that part was good.
I don't have any short-term plans. I'll stick around here for a bit to help my mom adjust, for sure. Shortly before my brother's Final Descent a former colleague had contacted me about a job that paid really well, the first of its kind for me. I had to turn it down. Given how difficult things had been for me for a time, that was pretty hard to do.
I'm thinking Dallas in the near-future. That doesn't thrill me. It kind of revulses me. Baby steps . . .

I'm terribly sorry for your loss. That's a horrible enough thing to see happen to an old person. I can't imagine watching that disease eat away at someone young, and who grew up with you.
Do the baby steps include getting one of the nurses numbers? |
