We are all dying. It is just a matter of time. If your husband is as bad as you suggest then I recommend that you and he become involved with hospice care. Hospice is just another medical specialty but it deals with the the issues of lifes end. We will all arrive at that place. If it is your husbands time then hospice will make it much easier on everyone.
