My husband died Tuesday 8th February after a long battle with cancer.
Before he was admitted to the Hospice he kept on saying to me once he is in the hospice he won't come out. He was concerned that they would give him medication that would encourage him to die quicker. I tried to explain to him the medication is to control his pain. But he was adamant that was not true.
He did have two Syringe drivers for pain control. He became agitated so they added a two sedatives to the syringe driver. He then was in a deep coma like sleep for three days, then he died.
I am now confused, did I do the right thing in agreeing to sedation.
I am now blaming myself for his death. I miss him so much, and we will nevever have those last three days back.
