I agree with everything you wrote.In my sister’s case she wanted to be resuscitated so they could not begin hospice.I was asked many times to override her decision and get Power of Attorney to begin hospice but she had no pain.She did have some discomfort and she was given something for it.I was condemned by some people because of this.She was aware till the end and she did ask for help for pain.By then we had Power of Attorney and started hospice 8 hours before her death.She stopped eating on her own and her body could not handle any food or liquid.At the end she could barely talk but she put her hands together in prayer.We prayed till we were hoarse because she would know when we stopped.This was about 8 weeks ago.
My condolences to you in the loss of your sister. I hope you feel comfort in knowing that you honored her wishes to the end. May she rest in peace.
I posted only minutes after you did before seeing your post. Our family, too, was condemned for refusing narcotics and requesting continued treatment for my father.
I send you warm and loving hugs. I am sure she is in the arms of the Redeemer, Who will, I pray, comfort you and all those who loved her.
I am so sorry about your sister Fatima.
