I’m so sorry for your loss, @minerva56. I know you wrestled with this very big decision of caregiving that was placed before you and it wasn’t easy. Throughout your boyfriend’s situation you were very compassionate and thoughtful about his feelings and handled this all perfectly right up to the end.
No one knows when their life will be over but to pass on one’s own terms is the best anyone can hope for. It sounds like his passing was peaceful and filled with love of family, shared stories and memories for all of you to hold onto. You can be at peace too, knowing he felt supported to the end. I hope you can heal now too. Sending a gentle hug.
