A few years ago, my brother was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma cancer. He refused to go into hospice because he wanted to be home with family. Unfortunately, I was the only family left to be with. However, I made it my goal to make him as comfortable as I could for the remainder of his time with me. At the end of the day, it was one of the most heart breaking experiences to watch him suffer and see him pass. Although, I wouldn't change any of it for the world! I was able to give him the peace he wanted. We laughed, hugged, stayed up all night long reminiscing. I loved every bit of it, my heart was satisfied knowing that he spent his last days happy. At home, in his own room, with family instead of nurses and that's okay with me.
