Sorry to hear about that, Jim. I'm spending my 5th night tonight at the home, waiting for the inevitable. The human body's ability to hang on is crazy. It's been nearly a week since food OR water.

My basic function is to advocate for more morphine etc. every time the nurses come in.

Wrote the obit today at his bedside.

Hang in there. Death is not always an adversary. Sometimes it's a friend.

My mom did the same thing. A full week of no water/food. it's a very unsettling thing for families to endure/sit through.

My thoughts are with y'all.

I cannot like this enough. good for you. keep your relative comfortable. they have plenty of meds and can easily get more.

It really is difficult to summarize an entire life into a brief essay. prayers to you, e-friend.
