"The logical part of me realizes the stupidity of it all, but I couldn't fight the feeling that my dad was too unique to end his life typically. I couldn't stop thinking that my dad, who saw life as one long competition, would find a way to die better than everyone else. Certainly not in an Alzheimer's ward, withering away and increasingly dependent, just like the other patients."
My Father's Shockingly Typical Death | Randi Hutter Epstein, MD, MPH
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
