[quote=Anonymous]OP I so get it and we were in this situation with my dad. It was awful. Mom ignored hospice and it was like watching him be tortured to death. He hated all the tubes and would thrash about pulling them off and she thought she was saving him from hospice who wanted to kill him. He could no longer do anything independently , not even walk or talk and was in diapers. The only humane part was she allowed them to give him pain killers. She had not read up on how end of life looks and why they remove all those wires/tubes or how to help someone die comfortably and humanely. He was livid too. For us he made signs he knew we were there with his eyes and noises. He would not even look at her other than to do an angry grunt.[/quote]
