 :big hug: Please take heart in knowing that while this is not easy on anyone, you (the family) are fulfilling his wishes.

My prayers are with you and your family during this time  :grouphug;.

 He's going the way I would like to go, as I direct it, not as a hospital directs it. It takes a lot of courage to do so, but he's looking out for his family right now, knowing they would rather see him this way, than a prisoner of tubes and machinery. May he rest in peace, and may your family, and you, be at peace, knowing he made the decision for you, as well as for him.

My uncle died peacefully yesterday, after being in a deep, calm sleep for the last two days. My aunt and three of my cousins were with him. I'm so glad his last days were easy, but more than that, I'm glad he had such a full, good life, bringing much love and joy into the world.

Thanks to you all for your understanding and support. You are the best.

Oh hon I am so pleased though, that he died so peacefully. It really helps the family to accept it a little better, that's my hope anyway. 

Peace and love to you, with hugs, and the same to your aunt and their family.

My condolences.  It is never easy to let someone go, but it is even worse to see them suffer.
God Bless you and your family.

My thoughts and prayers continue for you and your family during your time of loss.  The loss of a loved one is never easy, but you can be comforted by the fact that you honored his wishes.  That knowledge will be something you can lean on in the coming days, months. . .

Hugs for each of you who is left behind. I'm glad your uncle was able to choose for himself what was right for him and that he left this world in peace and with such a supportive family.
