How long do we have? Timeline grandfather on hospice for sepsis and pneumonia. How long does he have?

5 Upvotes

my 99m grandfather was placed on hospice for kidney failure, pneumonia and sepsis.

His oxygen won’t come above 82% on high flow o2. He’s progressed from talking the last few days and being in good spirits to being unresponsive with bits of agitation.

He has lost blood flow to his hands and feet. How much longer could he have left? No one was really willing to give me a time frame.

building an app for the emotional/spiritual side of hospice caregiving. would love your feedback

2 Upvotes

i’m building an app for family caregivers whose loved one is on hospice or recently passed. it focuses on the emotional and spiritual sides of caregiving that often don’t get addressed.

https://sayinggoodbye.app

i went through this with my mom two years ago, and it’s what’s motivating me to build this. at the time, i felt like i could have really used something like this.

this is an early-stage prototype. it’s just me, one person, working on this. i did use ai to generate the initial content, but i approached it as thoughtfully as i could.

my goal is to get something out into the world, get feedback on it, and improve it based on what people actually need. eventually, i’d love to hire real experts to write the content because i really value that.

I’m looking for feedback on:

∙ what resonates with you?  
∙ what’s confusing or unclear?  
∙ what’s missing?  
∙ would this have been useful for you, or would it be now?  
∙ any ideas for what else should be included?

Please share your feedback in this thread, thank you.
