[quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m sorry. I watched my sibling die last year from a slow and painful death. She was bedridden, incontinent, and nonverbal the last few months. It’s awful. I friend so much when she died but I was also relieved she could stop suffering. My employer let me take sick leave to be at the hospice - it was very helpful so that I had time to be there (also have young kids, worked full time, and am the primary caregiver for my kids). It meant I had some time to be present and say goodbye. If your father seems agonized, perhaps he needs more medication? My sister would give these awful moans and we pushed the hospice doctor to give more meds. Unfortunately it meant she really never regained consciousness but also I felt like she was no longer suffering. Wishing you the best. [/quote]
