My Daddy had end stage prostate Ca and COPD, he had an agreement with his dr. to get hospice care with me as his nurse and morphine whenever he decided to go. When the time came he had me call, we had the morphine that night and I laid on the bed with him and administered it slowly, waiting for him to say whether to give him more. We laid next to each other until he fell asleep and passed. It was the easiest death I ever witnessed.
The night he decided to call the dr. and before the meds arrived I revealed to him for the first time that I had arrested in the OR 10 years earlier and had a profound NDE. I never told him before because he hated dr's and hospitals. I knew that would taint his ability to understand my experience. That night I did tell him the wonderful gift I was given while I was clinically dead, he responded with awe and obvious relief. His fear seemed to lighten and I was proud to help him pass.
My daughter says she will give me the same gift if possible.
