No, but I’ve been through three hospice situations with my loved ones.

Were they all writhing in pain? I know some cancer deaths, in particular, are very painful. I did hear of one very difficult death, complicated by the fact that the patient was very fearful. Perhaps in these situations morphine would be acceptable, but only in an amount that would not cause them to die.
