My partner has end stage liver disease (alcoholic cirrhosis). Hepatic encephalopathy seems advanced. He is home, but because of his confusion and disorientation, he can't be left alone. He has been in and out of the hospital/ICU several times. His doctor told him he was dying, and when the doctor and I were alone he said it could be days, weeks, or months, but not likely a year. I feel lost and not sure what to expect. Financial and health POA are all set. How long does he have? Is it really so vague as days, weeks, months? How will I know when the end is imminent and I need to have someone here with me?
