"She's dead, Nathan." He keeps repeating those words as if they'll magically make things better. Well, they don't. They make me feel ever more guilty for not seeing the signs. The doctors have told her family and myself that hardly anyone catches the signs before it's too late. Is that supposed to make us feel any better? Telling us that her death was inevitable? I think that's supposed to make the doctors and nurses feel better. It reassures them that they've done everything, but it doesn't help the family or friends at all.
