I agree with your take. Very long story, while my family doesn't talk about feelings, we're pretty good at talking about end of life. Separately, some years ago spent a good amount of time listening to what Atul Gawande thought about medicine and doctors and dying. He wrote Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End and there's a Frontline documentary (Being Mortal) about his experience and his book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQhI3Jb7vMg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQhI3Jb7vMg. I've not yet read the book.
