[quote=Anonymous] My dad was 80 and had Parkinsons, very advanced. He really declined in the last 4 weeks, stopped talking and wasn't eating much. We put him in rehab, but it was soon clear there would be no coming back. We were in the process of planning discharge (obtaining a hospital bed and hospice for home). I visited the day before he passed (I saw him most days), he said my name clearly and smiled at me : ) he also held Mom's hand and said her name. I think that night, his brain died-like, his heart was still going but next morning he was not responsive. At all. We had him transported to the hospital, and from there, to a hospice and he died peacefully that night with us there. He was warm, clean and comfortable. Really, he just stopped taking breaths.
