My uncle is in End Stage Renal Failure

I just spent the last two days saying good bye to my 80 yr old uncle. He has decided not to have treatment. His quality of life for the last 2 years has been declining and he is ready to die. This has been very hard on the family. He is going home with hospice care today. We are unsure of what to expect between now and when he may go into a comma and ultimately death. Can you give me some information of what kind of pain he may endure and what we can expect?
