(60,188 posts)the problem with losing DU members is there is so little known about their real life, even in general terms.
I was torn between trying to respect MFM's private life and worrying like hell about him after he was in hospital for all those final weeks.
It helps me a great deal to know you two had such a long friendship
and
esp. to know you were with him till the end of his time with us.
What you have written makes it easier for me to work thru the saying good by process,
you have fleshed MFM out, I find it helpful.
I am especially pleased about the Power of Attorney you have.
I had been concerned about the final arrangements, did not know what resources he had, what was needed.
If you are thinking of something for the nurses on the unit, you might want to ask the head nurse on the floor, who will be very tuned into what is appropriate and workable.
Your post about his leaving us got almost 9,000 views, and almost 350 replies.
I am sure that even if each of us sent in 1.00, we could help to meet his desire to do something for the nurses,
and to help with the cremation cost.
