I visited a skilled care facility which was also a hospice. I visited about 5 times a week for 5 years. I saw at least 40 people die. Some of the families had the water disconnected near the end. The death came faster, but the effects were horrific. In most cases the family members stayed away and did not see it. I hope nobody does that to me.
I watched the dehydration/morphine technique on an older relative. Up close and personal. At a fancy hospice. Really fancy.
The children of the guy have PhDs. Now I think of terminal degrees in a very different light altogether.
They didn’t even let the guy go home and say goodbye to his cat.
