Yeah this account of mine has been kept separate from my true identity as well as I could, but I think I've observed this when my SO passed. They were also in palliative care from cancer.
I'll never forget that last night, I slept next to them on an extra cot.
I won't go into details because of the survivors but my SO had a new machine that was keeping them awake.
They were suffering.
The nurse gave them a very strong sedative. They curled up in their favorite sleeping position and went to sleep. Just a couple hours later they stopped breathing.
At the time I was in shock but I remember thanking the nurses when we left the ward and calling them angels.
