I feel so horrible for anyone who has to watch their loved ones, people or
pets, suffer needlessly without the proper help!
I sat with my mother for 3 weeks, even nights, but had to go to her house to

No fluids? WHAT? they won't let someone die via assistance but it's OKAY to
let them suffer without fluids? That is wrong on SO many levels :(

Fluids are essential to help the body slowly ease into organs shutting down
without sudden dehydration, which is supposed to be very painful! It must
be individual hospice rules.

Some really lazy people use litter box liners for only none reason, to grab
the whole liner ONCE a week, and toss it, and start with a new one. No
wonder that people with only one cat can have a smelly house! I always
explain to adopters who have never had a cat before that it must be cleaned
Some, especially the elderly or very ill, may wish to look into the
DNR bracelets. My grandmother's nursing home mislaid her file so at
the critical moment, they could not show her DNR to the paramedics --
so she was forced through a lot of intrusive procedures that she
absolutely did not want.
I guess your mom requested no tubes, and this is why she only
got morphine. I'm sure glad she had that. Hospice is usually
very generous with it, whereas hospitals aren't. Never go to
a hospital to die. They do everything they can to keep you alive
and they never give patients enough pain
They just want to get as much MONEY from the family and their insurance company
as they can :(

My father who passed away this past December (may he rest in peace), passed
away at home, with morphine drops and water if he wanted it. In his case, it
was heart failure, and he didn't want to die in the hospital.
He literally said to my sister (pardon the language) I am sick of this fucking
Hospitals aren't good at palliative care. It wasn't that my Mom requested no
tubes, it was that Hospice didn't want her to have fluids. They said it would
make her uncomfortable. I went toe to toe with that lady. Her Dr said she could
have fluids, hospice said no.

Good for him. Dying at home is the best way.
I want to croak at home in my own bed.
