In reply to the discussion: My Husband Just Died:I too Was My Own Death Panel [View all]elleng
(141,926 posts)98. My husband just died,
and I'm sorry that none of us were nearby. He apparently knew his condition was terminal, but he hadn't informed us. He and I had been in contact about contacting one of his medical advisers 1-2 days prior to his death, I was helping him to do that, and then I heard nothing from him. As a consequence I went to his apartment, and found him.
It did not appear to have been a traumatic passing, but I am sorry we didn't know and weren't with him.
I am glad that dynasaw and bennyboy were able to help.

I am sorry for your loss, but would disagree that you were a death panel.
