I really did my best for him: waking up @ 5am to hourly feed him before going to work, coming home @ lunchtimes. changing the food, liquidising & syringe feeding hourly attemps again in the evenings until midnight.

Been there, done that. It's horrible.

I was sad but satisfied I did my best by him - albeit I couldn't watch "nature take its course" anymore at the end & had him pts.

You shouldn't qualify your statement as though you failed by getting his suffering to stop. It was responsible and compassionate to have veterinary intervention. Nature is not kind, it just Is What It Is.
