It was the end
My last post was how do you know it's the end as I wondered about putting my husband on hospice. I did start hospice on Sunday the 4th and he passed on Thursday the 8th. It was incredibly rapid. Even the aides at the facility were shocked. One came in to see him Tuesday morning. She had been off for three days and when she came in they told her my DH was dying - she couldn't believe it.
I was able to be with him by myself at the end - which is what I wanted. It was very peaceful.

Amy, please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I know how hard this is for you but I'm glad you were together at the end. My husband passed away shortly after we began hospice, too. I'm glad his passing was peaceful for both of you. Just know that he's well know - he's out of the clutches of this horrible disease - may that bring you some comfort. Take care of yourself now.0

I'm so glad you decided to call hospice that very day. I'm also glad it was a peaceful passing, it's really the best we could possibly hope for out of this terrible disease.
I'm sorry for your loss. Please rest and feeling relief in some ways is okay. Yes, you will miss him but it's okay to be relieved that it's over.0 -
