We went through much the same with my mother here in our home just a year ago. While it was hard, it was also rewarding. I was grateful that our family pulled together to enable her to die with us at home. And the whole process makes you think so much - there are so many lessons in it for us if we open ourselves up to that.
Sending you a big hug. You’re doing great.

Wrapping you all up in a giant, warm hug. You will never regret having been with him in his last days on this earth. I wish him a peaceful and pain-free passing and strength for you and your SIL. You are both doing a wonderful thing for your brother.

I’m so sorry. I hate that he and your family are going through this. I’ve had bone metastasis and it is awful; it breaks my heart that he is suffering. I hope for you all a peaceful end. I firmly believe that your mutual love lasts beyond a last breath.

Big hugs and prayers for strength coming your way.
I went through the same with my DH. Hospice was amazing and so helpful. Your emotions will be all over the place - you don’t want to see him go but you also don’t want him to suffer. It’s difficult to reconcile those two feelings!
May you and your sister in law find peace in the coming days. ❤️

I’m sorry for all of it. It sounds like you all are making theses days as easy on your brother as you possibly can. And it sounds like you all are supporting each other and have outside support. I’m glad you have all that to lean on.
