I recently had to go through the passing of my grandfather. In addition to having Parkinson's for the last 5 years of his life that progressively got worse, he also had stage for rectal cancer that was inoperable. He had a DNR and also an advance directive about prohibiting aggressive medical intervention. He ended up with pneumonia and refused to be ventilated to clear the mucus. He told me and my grandmother after an extremely bad night in the hospital that he was, "ready." I called family from all around to come say good bye, We were planning on doing in home hospice but his condition was deteriorating and I couldn't manage it on my own. We ended up taking him to a very nice hospice center, they stabilized him enough for everyone to get to say their last good byes and then he passed a few days later.
