I am kind of in awe of your writing about Don's last hours. Not only is it beautiful, but it shows us all the right way to die. I know that sounds weird, but so often, death is so medicalized.
This. Hospice care is so amazing...it allowed my FIL a dignified passing at home. Mimi, I am so thankful that you had family there with you. I hope Don's physical body can do much to help doctors learn and teach and make life more comfortable for others.
