stopped all treatment

My younger brother is currently in hospice. All treatments have been stopped. He’s on morphine slow release twice a day 45mg, and has fast acting liquid, if need be. The pain from the bone metastasis is excruciating for him. So hard to see him this way. He’s given this a good fight for 4 years and 4 months, now it’s time for this warrior to rest. Please keep him and our family in your thoughts.

I hope they provide enough pain killer. According to my knowledge it’s possible today to go without pain. I’m very sorry for you and your brother - wishing you strength and patience. Hope you can help him to go in peace.

Thank you, he was in a hospice facility for 5 days. They monitored him closely. The pain meds are keeping him comfortable. He’s happy to be home now!

Good speed and wish him pain free while onto his next chapter. it will be interesting to find out if there is actually anything happening when we close the door this side???

Also interesting to here what his beliefs and thoughts are.

Hope you and his family are as well as you can be

We are Catholic and believing in our faith. Although, He’s having a hard time accepting it.🙏🏻

Re: He’s having a hard time accepting it.

As you can see you have many well wishers and people offering up prayer.

Gods word says were two or more are gathered in my name (Prayer through the Holy Spirit) I am (Holy Spirit) there also.

Out of Gods word 2 Timothy

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing”

We are in prayer bridging the gap for his lack of faith (accepting it)

For all mankind stands before God the day his body dies and his spirit stands before God. Rest assured that God is ultimate love and that love bridged the gap from the Cross of his son’s death for our acceptance or non acceptance. What incredible is when the Body dies and his worldly thoughts die with his body. It’s that time when man’s spirit meets Gods spirit, it’s the impossible to deny that you have a new spiritual body. It’s a big awakening as one were to look into the mass universe and say this is incredible and this is real. No one will say this isn’t real. It’s so obvious that we have a creator who loves us. Rest assured he will accept and be part of the kingdom of God.

Blessings to you and your family during this difficult time.

Through the Holy Spirit we pray in Jesus name.

AND ALL OF GODS PEOPLE SAID AMEN.

I took care of my sister-in-law (she was 50) and a friend (54) as they passed from cancer. One was in hospice in a hospital and one in hospice at home. I felt honored to do so but it was difficult- especially watching them in pain. Increasing morphine helped their comfort but they were both reluctant to do so. I'm sending you and your brother's loved ones strength through the journey. Hoping your brother stays comfortable and you all have some moments of peace and he feels your love💙
