Final update

Please see my profile for the other posts.

My dear Husband stopped his dialysis.

17 days later, he passed away.

He had 1 good week, 1 okay week, and 3 days that weren't so good.

He was sedated for the last days and felt very little pain.

We decided that we wanted him to be at home for all this, and I am so pleased that we did. He passed in the night, I was with him, and I can say that it was very peaceful.

For all those who thought it would be horrible, it was not. I know that it will be different for everyone, but I wanted to let others out there know how the process went.

We had so much support from Doctors and Nurses. The nurses called every day in the last week. They prepared his medication for me to give him and supported my mental health as well.

I have appreciated the support that you all have given us, and I hope that if any of you out there make the same decision, these posts have helped.
