Our newborn’s end of life: “his life was short, beautiful, what it was meant to be.”

Parents Nate and Katherine describe their two-week old son Joey’s end of life at home and how it felt for them. Hospice had prepared them. The breathing at the end was especially difficult. Nate: “It wasn’t really real for me until the hearse picked him up and drove him away. Then I fell down and wept. I think I was in automatic mode until then.” Katherine: “It was really really weird to be 35 years old and in charge of my baby’s funeral. It was really really hard.” We made “the right choices for Joey.”
