This is an excellent tale of how a diagnosis affects family members in addition to the patient. I will use that term he used "The hour of the wolf". Thank you for this and thank you Jessie for your honest report of your experience. Treasure your relationship.

Thanks for your video. You discuss your feelings. Unsaid may be the concern that your father had about how to assure care for his family should he go. You and he must be realistic in an unknowable situation, lay plans for the range of potential outcomes, and let it go.

Watch the sun break the eastern horizon in the morning and resolve to fill the day you are given with the best you have.

Stay with it.

I have only read about the doctor and what an expert he was. I was dumb founded when I realized even doctors are human and go through the same process as many of us regardless of their education and training.

Really appreciate her sharing her experience with her dad.
