This is a very touching story, however it is very important to make sure we do what is needed for our LOVed ones, It is hard to dea with at that time, however we need to protect our loved ones until the end.

The 7 steps of saying goodbye is also very helpful for both side the living and the person dying.

Remember to talk to them not at them, do not discuss anything or talk over them, do not argue in the same room as they can still hear everything you are saying even if they cannot respond back,
Let them Know it is OK for them to let go, ( some people feel guilty about dying and they hold on until they hear the words *I love you and it is ok to go now" and some hold on to see someone they need to see so they can die.

Whatever the case please let the one you LOve die with dignigty, do not take that from them in their last days with you.

Remember it is about them, not you. treat them as you would if they are healthy and at home, talk to them hold their hands, tell them how your day went, let them live through your eyes even if it is for a mere second.

Losing a loved one is never easy and at times can be very very painful, but if you know in your heart you have done the right thing then you will be able to move on and smile each time you think of your loved one(s)

I have seen a lot of death and have held a lot of hands until they have passed, it is never easy nor does it get any easier with each one, however with the person knowing you are holding their hand and not letting go until after they have passed it eases them and lets them know it is ok and that they are safe.
