Something very similar happened with my mother. She spent the night incoherently begging to die. We talked with the doctor the next day, and asked him to end it. He explained that the laws did not allow that, they they could only do something for the pain. A bit later the nurse came in with a big syringe of Dilaudid and pushed it as fast as possible (it should be injected very slowly over time). She bent over, looked into her eyes and felt her pulse, and told us to say our goodbyes now if we were going to, and left us alone. It was as kind an act as anyone could perform for a person and/or family.
