Good morning! I think you did the right thing by getting a priest to come out to see your husband. I have read that so many people are now having a hard time facing death because they no longer have faith and believe in God and the after life like people used to. Must have been crazy with him the last few days. My brother's nurses who visit him for in-home hospice keep telling him he can have any drugs he wants (as it is the end for him) for anxiety and pain. And he is okay with what they are giving him. He just sleeps a lot now. I think you are right about his need for more pain killers - I mean why not? Maybe he needs more priest time too to help calm him down. I hope he gets more pain meds - I can't imagine being in his predicament esp if he is going through withdrawal - who needs that! And don't worry about being morbid. I just hope for the best for him and you!

You know it sounds like your husband is headed to another drug overdose, don't you think? Maybe it would be a good idea to take him to the hospital and have them treat him. I know nothing about what the best steps are to take in this situation. My brother is taking methodone which helps him with his pain - methadone is what they give people who are heroin addicts, it is an anti-opiate medication but it does relieve pain. I think you need to get a medical professional involved in what is going on. Hope this helps!
