In an essay for HuffPost, guest writer Michelle Stacey opened up about her ailing 86-year-old dad deciding it was his time to die — and how she helped him do it the way he wanted.
“When the hospice nurse talks to Dad about what’s looming — that she is there to make him comfortable, not to ‘cure’ anything — he nods eagerly and assures her that he’s all in,” Stacey wrote. “She looks at him, smiling, and says, ’I’ve been doing this work for eight years, and you are the happiest patient I have ever met.’”
Stacey recalled what it was like for her and her stepmom to be in “Hospice Land” for 10 days with Dad: “The rhythm of these days reminds me of early parenthood, when the outside world barely existed, and I reflexively watched to see if my baby’s chest was still rising and falling. I find myself doing the same with him, but the script has been flipped. Then, the goal was to continue to live; now, it is to continue to die.”
