[quote=Anonymous][quote] FIL died this morning after spending 7 days in hospice. The antibiotics he received likely prolonged his suffering by "curing" the pneumonia but his organs were already failing. Poor man. He spent 7 days dying a very slow death. He looked like a skeleton in the end. It was brutal to watch. But he's at peace now and DH is sad, but also relieved. Thanks to everyone for the support.[/quote]

I’m very sorry. Hopefully he had enough morphine and other drugs to reduce suffering. I had to make a lot of decisions for my mom, who had been stage 6 Alzheimer’s and fell and. Rome her pelvis. Based on her directives she went in hospice and I d not push food or fluids and focused on comfort care but others in the memory care were tryingtjbge her up and moving and eating as if there was a real chance of recovery and I def second guessed myself at times. My mom does a couple months ago and I still wonder if I somehow rushed things, or didn’t do enough, was she thirsty etc. but everyone dies and I tried to give her a calm and as dignifies  as possible death.
