Does his relatives think you shouldn’t pull the plug?

In my opinion.....and it’s only my opinion.....if there’s no possibility of him regaining consciousness, I would pull the plug. If there’s the possibility of him regaining consciousness and speech, I wouldn’t.

My mother told me, in that circumstance, to pull the plug.

I’m sorry you’re being put through this.

I feel like you should talk to a counselor who specializes in grief at the hospital.

Angnix, what IRL support do you have? Maybe don't need it right this minute (going through the motions, shock), but knowing the support is on standby.

So sorry.

He's in a hospice care home now.... Everyone supported that decision because it turned out he had brain stem damage from his surgery last month causing most of the problems... They just told me this today too!! !

At least everybody agrees. That's good.

I hope he is comfortable.

I'm sorry that you're going through this. You can be assured that hospice is doing what they do best, which is make people comfortable in a peaceful setting.

Yes to what the others have said above. Hospices are there to take special care of those who are suffering. Hopefully they can help you too. Hugs.
