   • Dying can be long and bewildering, lonely and painful, frequently undignified, and consumed by pressing and unpredictable and constantly changing and multiplying needs. Heather, who is dying, moves slowly, sits down, delays, and lingers. It’s a relief to have someone around who understands what’s going on and what may happen next for Heather.

   How does heather perform a postmortem?

   • When the time seems right, a hospice nurse like Heather performs the confirmation of death rituals. She shines a flashlight into the patient’s eyes to see that the pupils no longer constrict and, if they do not, she closes the eyelids. She checks the pulse at the wrist and neck and listens to the chest. She looks at the hands to see if they have changed color.
