Since he only has weeks to live, I'm sure he will very soon be needing 24/7 care and a hospice would be a much better ending than an active family with 3 young children. Typically staff at hospices are the most kindest and compassionate people that can control his pain, tend to his needs, and provide emotional comfort. Along with the possibility of him bringing cocaine or other narcotics into the home, it would also be quite traumatizing to the children to have to watch his suffering and passing.
