My husband has also been diagnosed end of life. They have stopped all his meds so don’t know how much longer he will last. He is still in carehome . He has a dnr in place. I am going to visit him today and frightened what I will find.. I don’t want him to suffer. I only hope he is released from this dreadful desease soon.

Hello @Wilburdoo
Have you asked the staff at the home if everything is in place to make sure your husband stays pain fee and comfortable? This will reassure you of your worst fear.

Hi granny g
Thanks for your response.
Yes I didn’t have to ask. The manageress called me into her office.. Everything is in place. It was hard having to give answers as you don’t think it will happen.
The district nurse is going this afternoon. Hopefully she will administer some medicine to help him.
They are talking days now. It will be a blessing for him to go in his sleep. I couldn’t stay long as I found it very difficult to cope.. xx
Thank you for your concerns. I found it very difficult today to visit him. The carehome are doing everything right for him.. I couldn’t stay long with him. I found it very stressful. I’m hoping he passes in his sleep to release him from this terrible desese
Is there anyone who could come with you when you visit? I found it was some help to have family and friends present right near the end.
The actual passing can be quite peaceful. A person can drift in and out of consciousness. My wife did this and then went into a deep sleep. Her breathing became intermittent and finally stopped.
Of course not all deaths are as peaceful but I hope you have a similar experience.
