Pamela, it is great that you and DB had such a good talk.
This is not about me but a while ago I had to do the same thing as he has decided to do (a much-loved uncle of mine in NZ was in the final stages of Parkinson's and he wanted to see me).
It was hard for me and it may be for DB as well but he has good supports (you, of course! and his pysch) ready to help. If you want to, please pass on my thoughts of support and care to DB.
