Heading towards the end of this disease

Doityourselfer

My 63 year old husband has been bedridden for the past 13 days.  He is under hospice care at our home.  We are keeping him as comfortable as possible.  It's very, very sad to see him this way.  I could see this stage coming for a few months.  He would want to go to bed earlier and lay in bed longer.  He took a shower every day cooperatively in November and I thought this is quite unusual.  He would eat less and now hasn't eaten in 6 days.  We try to keep him hydrated using droppers because he is unable to use a straw.  

It's heart-breaking to see him go through this process.

I will pray for you, for your DH and all your family.  It’s all I can offer.  Stay strong; you will smile again someday.  I am sorry…..so young.

I'm so sorry. This brings tears to my eyes. My 65 year old DH is not far behind. Bedridden for 5 weeks now. Still eating and drinking through a straw, but little declines every day. I'll pray for you both. Blessings

You are not alone. Others here are going through the same thing with broken hearts like yours. I can't imagine my life without my husband, but I can't imagine him suffering like this much longer.
