My Dad died peacefully in his sleep at 3.45am today. Almost exactly a week since we began end of life care (I got a call from the hospital last Monday morning to go in at 3.30am to agree to end treatment). It's been a very long week and right now I feel completely drained and exhausted, but relieved. I feel content I did all I could to make his last days as positive as they could be, by being back at his care home, with his dog and familiar people. I feel sure there were at least times he knew we were there and responded, as much as he was able, to let me know he could hear us.
I am thankful our journey with dementia has been short, and am grateful to the advice offered here during the last few months.
Take care xx
