Dying at home -

Hi my husband has stage 4 lung cancer diagnosed last February he has had chemo and immunotherapy which didn't work I think he is now approaching he's final weeks loss of appetite exhaustion just started on oromorph liquid for pain relief. We are a really open family and have had the discussion with my husband in where he wants to die at home hospice or hospital he wants to be at home my 3 children are in agreement step children not his, but I'm not I really don't want him to die at home I can't explain why! I just know I don't want him in the dining room taking his last breaths. My first husband died in this house although that was a sudden death just don't think I can go through all that again. I just don't know what to do anymore it's been absolute hell this last 15 months 

 

  • My son just passed at home and im so glad he did.  Hes been in the hospice they was wonderful.he had sarcoma which had gone to sams bones and lungs .i just woke to find him a sleep in the chair he had gone .but it was peacefule and he was in his favourite place home x   my son was 35 .my baby . Im so angry with life its not right  xxx

  • my dad passed at home and i nursed him it was his wish to die at home and it was the least i could do for him was to grant that wish, 

    but i understand you wanting him to go into a hospice, talk to him about your concerns and listen to his and then decide, because at any point if dad wanted to go to the hospice i would have stud by that also, at the end of the day they should be allowed to decide x 

    sorry you are going through this x
