oh bless you. i do know that it is common for people to die when their loved ones have had a nap/popped out for a bit etc - it's like they wait to go. my father in law passed from covid at home. it was at the beginning of the pandemic and we had been told until the day before he died that it WASN'T covid so you can imagine how shocked my mother in law was when they said sorry it's covid and you're dying - he was still lucid enough to say he wanted to die at home but for several days before, he too had had no appetite/seemed confused at times. as a family we couldn't even be in the house to support her physically. he did agree to sedation as he was getting quite agitated and she too panicked at the noisy breathing - he too also moaned/groaned and kind of shouted out even whilst he was under sedation. i wish someone had warned her about the cheyenne stokes breathing as she ended up ringing the hospital to say what do i do?! and then it all went quiet from the other room and she said - it's ok - it's stopped now and put the phone down (we can smile about it now as goodness knows what the staff member was thinking!). when my grandma passed - it was very peaceful - her breathing simply slowed and stopped. my mother in law obviously found it traumatic but is so pleased he was able to die at home and free of pain. i am sorry for your loss x
