Is he able to write about it? Either longhand or typing if he has a typewriter? Just a thought, because we're all gonna face that, and we can learn much from him. Is there some way you could help with that - assuming you're emotionally able. This is tough stuff.

You can always come here and commiserate. There are so many DUers who are able, and willing, to keep a vigil with you, or maybe share what difficult transitions they witnessed from relatives or friends of their own.

It's the last big trip, I guess. He's lucky to have you close by.
