Do Go Gentle: Bringing My Father Home to Die With Dignity After a Devastating Stroke
On a September night not long after his 83rd birthday, William Stookey suffered a massive stroke. It left him conscious yet paralyzed, unable to swallow, and unable to talk and communicate. His doctors-after a barrage of scans and other tests-determined that there was little chance for recovery. This is the story, as told by William's physician son, of a family's difficult decision to bring a loved-one home to die. With limited options, the family opts for a death brought about by the withholding of all food and water. Told in candid and poignant detail, Do Go Gentle describes a family's agonizing, yet loving, act of letting go.
