What you wrote was so powerful and moving. I hope you don't mind if I share something here.
Personally, I have always been afraid of death, because I have PTSD. I have lived my entire life feeling like I was going to have a rock fall from the sky or something. I always feel like tomorrow will never come. I took a class in college to on the subject of death, because I thought it would help me face my fears. I tried to discuss what I learned with others. No one wanted to hear what I had learned from the Death and Dying class. I still have a problem with it. I think it has to do with my religious upbringing. So, I really do admire your courage in facing this illness. I don't think that I would handle it the same way due to all my fears.
I am sorry that you had to experience such pain with that vet. He showed his true colors. You deserve a person who is honest and would be there when you need them.
