Sometimes the dying need permission to go. Let him know it is ok. I truly believe some people hang on because they know their family is not ready- my father hung on until my mother was able to tell him it was ok. It was so hard for her to do- but he finally got peace. You and your family are in my prayers.

My mother died of stomach cancer just before 9/11. I feel your pain, really I do. The fact that you are allowing him his final breaths in his own home, with family near confirms my suspicions about your humanity.
