We are all here for you so I hope you don’t feel too alone. There is another member in our forum who has written a very poignant message this past week about
How do you say goodbye?”, as he faces the final chapter in his life. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/how-do-you-say-goodbye/
If you have any desire to share your thoughts, stories, emotions, words of wisdom, regrets, dedications, elations… it would be wonderful if you’d like to add to the conversation.

I know it’s impossible for anyone to truly understand what you’re going through. This is ultimately the most personal journey anyone can take. I came very close to those pearly gates twice and felt an enormous sense of peace. I no longer have any fear of my final hours. But it’s difficult to impart that feeling to others.
You mentioned your family, friends and church are all very supportive. Do you have regular visits from your minister?

How often do you have a hospice nurse visit you? What are they offering you at this time?

A RN will visit every Monday and a CNA on Fridays. I will receive all Agrace services and they are impressive.
I spent most of Thursday at hospital treated with 2 units of blood and 1 unit of platelets because my CBC numbers were "alarmingly" low.
