That is the same thing the hospice people were saying. Just let them know everything is taken care of and let it go. He is not family to me, but I have gotten very close to him over the past few months. I have been with him 12 hours a day, 5 days a week. He took a turn for the worse a week ago and got worse everyday.

He is not responding anymore and it is only a matter of time. At this point, I wonder what he is thinking. Is he in a happy place in his sub conscious mind or is his mind blank. I occasionally go into his room and give him some soothing words or ask if he needs anything or if he is hungry. No response, but I will keep trying until he takes his last breath. This will probably be in the Rating: 5
