I absolutely agree with this, it is really important to get the family to buy-in and support the decision of the dying loved one.
I lost my mother-in-law earlier this year to leukemia, and ultimately she made the choice to forego care. My husband and his two siblings provided in-home hospice care for their mother, because she wouldn't even allow any nurses or doctors in her home. This was a huge commitment, in time and also emotionally, since we basically became nurses ourselves and had to learn to perform many procedures. If we hadn't be in complete agreement and totally aware of what we were signing up for, it could have created a family rift. Instead, it brought us closer together.
