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 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
