Taking care of my husband with cirrhosis of the liver

Posted by terry4939 @terry4939, 9 hours ago

My husband was told he has 2 months to a year to live due chirhosis of the liver. We have hospice coming to our home which has lifted a ton of bricks from my shoulder. He continues to drink liquor and knows he is going to die anyway. I am torn to pieces but I cant blame him because I would probably do the same thing
I have accepted his decision and hope that he does not die painfully. I am very scared

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Caregivers Support Group.

First of all I'm so sorry that you both are going through all this,very scary and sad. I suppose I would be like you and just hope his passing in painless. You are doing everything right for both of you. Please keep us posted when you can. Again I'm so very sorry.

This must be very difficult on your family. I’m so sorry. Your acceptance of the situation is amazing. I’m glad you have the support of hospice. We had them for my dad, who passed this past July. Sending you warm wishes for comfort.
