It was so assuring, painless and peaceful. My mom’s worst experience this past year was the NG tube they had to insert when stomach didn’t wake up after Whipple. Looking back now with all the procedures and pain she went thru, end-care palliative with hospice (and I researched and requested “palliative sedation” to her team) was so much better than what she went thru (of course she didn’t know what all would happen). She was a trooper; just got tired of being poked, prodded, etc. I can’t stress how peaceful and painless once she decided no more.
