Pretty much this. In a heavily medicated state they don't feel much, if anything. When my mom passed away from Covid 2 years ago it was similar to your parents being she wasn't conscience. She fought covid for almost 3 weeks first week she was awake & talking with her doctors while in the regular ER. Afterwards, the virus had spread significantly to her lungs & she had to be placed into the Covid ICU on a ventilator...at this point she was heavily sedated. When I last saw my mother alive she was breathing(forced by ventilator) but unresponsive & she had a yeast infection in her kidneys due to other complications. The doctors told us they were going to flip her over & try to see if the breathing picks up but she kept it real & told us her body is lowly failing. Once one organ goes the others usually soon follow...I won't bother typing how shattered I was but I was relieved that in her last 2 weeks on that hospital bed she was unaware & unresponsive so she didn't physically feel any pain physically & I thank Allah for that everyday. Also, when it's my time, I ask the Almighty to make it as quick & as pain free as possible...as instant as possible. May your parents rest in peaceBoth my parents died while in a heavily medicated state, it looked like they were sleep, but as one hospice nurse told us, “she’s going, but she doesn’t feel it” so if this nurse was accurate then hopefully my pops didn’t feel it either. It looked like they were drifting off to sleep as I’ve seen many many times, but this time…..
