Bones is right. He can fight until he drops, and then get up and fight again, but he's not good with slow wasting declines. He can support, he can comfort, he can distract. He's not good with issues of self-care, and dignity.
But he'll figure it out. He has to.
"Then let me hire a nurse. Someone who can help with the things that get harder for you, while I'm still here to support you. I can't leave you, Bones. I can't."
His voice is starting to crack, and he moves closer, pulling Bones' head into his midsection. "I can't."
