Is the end of life PAINFUL...What i mean is if you are lingering in bed......? |
and HOSPICE is there; are you drugged up enough to FEEL YOUR DEATH or do you just go into a slow coma tose sleep where nothing bothers you NOW ADAYS...???..i REALIZE this is a gross subject...but hey every one does have to go through this stage of life...sorry!!! Could a nurse answer for me???? honestly??? Who knows? At the end of life most people struggle with the decision as to whether to go on or stay here with their loved ones, and so they are restless making the decision. Some people regard that as pain or fear, but it usually is that they are torn between whether to stay or go. From most of the hospice nurses I have talked to, the pain is gone when the people are ready to go, and they pass rather painlessly and gently on to the next stage of their life. If the family gives their loved one permission to leave and go on, sometimes that helps them to make the decision, but they still will struggle making up their mind. The pain is not in dying, it is in living. It depends on the condition the person is in.What the disease is. What type of medications are given. The idea of hospice is to make passing easy and as painless as possible. It also depends on the wishes of the patient and/or the family. |
