But I also don’t want to feel as though I didn’t do everything I could for him.
You are doing everything you can for him xxx. It's that difficult road that when it comes to the time, has to be travelled alone. He knows you are there and you love him. They almost say goodbye to us before they go when they start retreating. If he takes a bit of food off a spoon then that is doing something for him.

Charlie got to the point where he didn't come out of his nest - although he would still drag himself to his nearby toilet. But began to be agitated by a spoon being put in front of him and just wanted to be left alone. Sometimes they will abandon the nest and choose a place to die. Charlie did that, but still didn't die - it was very hard and he was clearly suffering by then.

Just see how he is for a couple of days and just talk to him and tell him it's ok to go. You are both in my thoughts too.
