If your love one wanted to die at home?
Question:
Answers:
absolutely! I would never send them to the hospital or nursing home that is just cruel. I see it like this.my loved one sacrificed many times in there life for me and now it is my turn to sacrifice just a small part of my life for them.
My family means the world to me and it would be selfish of me to just shove them in a home or hospital because i couldn't handle it. I just had to choke it up and make myself strong.
There are also many sources that provide help and support for you and your loved one. hospice is wonderful and will help every step of the way.
Other Answers:
Yes - I would want to be with them, and if their wishes are to be comfortable at home with the ones they love than that is what I would want to do for them.
Call Hospice. This is what they do. They will help you and your loved one. I had to face this with a relative who wished to die at home. He received hospice care and I was sitting with him (along with my aunt, grandma, and mother) when he passed away. It's hard but it was what he wanted so we did it.
Absolutely! It's their choice, not mine!
It might be better for that to happen. You would want your loved one to enjoy the last of their life as much as possible. Being in a hospital is no way to enjoy the last of your life. I know its a bit creepy to have somebody die in your house, but you won't feel guilty about forcing them to stay in a hospital their last days.
if that is what they want ,,,who am i to rain on someones final wish..i guess they want to be surrounded by the people and the place that they love ,,,their home . A person has the right to choose the place where they die, in my opinion. It is up to those who love them to rise to the occassion. It is the saddest thing to have someone who wishes to die at home stay in hospital because their family is scared.very sad.
There is certainly a place for good home hospice care. The exception would be when hospital treatment would be needed for pain management. A neighbor of mine had metastasized breast cancer and was in horrible pain. She was receiving home hospice care since her elderly parents couldn't make regular trips to the city for hospital or nursing home visits & wanted to spend as much time as possible w/her. This was out in the country where the hospice nurse could only come around a couple of times a week. She died in horrible pain because her selfish parents couldn't stand to let her die out of their company.
yes and make their last moments on earth as comfortable as possible.
It's not just a question of having the strength to have them at home. Is there someone who can meet their needs 24/7? Can they feed them, toilet them, bathe them, counsel them and love them without considering them a burden?
Can they provide good enough pain relief for them? The most important thing is to provide comfort for them until the end.
I am an RN in a nursing home. Sometimes the choice is not always what the patient wants but how best to meet their needs. Just because you choose to go to a nursing home or hospice house does not mean you won't have access to your loved one at all times. We are open 24/7 to meet the needs of all persons involved in the care of a loved one.
Think of all the possibilities first. Then go from there.
you did the right thing
