the weirdest but most comforting thing about my grandfather being in hospice right now is that he is at complete peace. we’re all at complete peace. it’s not even necessarily sad, a bit emotional, but not really sad. the whole family is around and we’re laughing and making jokes and he’s making jokes about what being dead is gonna be like and it’s just. it’s a family of nurses, you know? a group of people who have normalized death, and so it’s not this big distressing mess of tears because most of us have worked all of our lives around death and its just. not some big scary thing. he’s got probably less than a week. he knows this. we all know this. but it’s okay.
They. They forgor
