My Dad died on Tuesday 10 days after getting pneumonia.
We cared for him at home. Dad really did not want to go to hospital or hospice.
The last few days were so peaceful and he did not need morphine.
I sat with him from 6 in the morning on the day he died talking to him and playing soft music. I told him that I had an image of his 3 dogs (much loved and who went down in size like steps) waiting on a hill for him and that when he was ready they would run down to him.
Through out he showed signs of knowing who was there and at one point even though he had been barely conscious he reached out to embrace me. I'm a lot less afraid of death after seeing how peaceful it can be.
