My sweet client passed 2/25/25, 94 and 2 months short of turning 95. No pain, but A LOT of anxiety thru the past 10 years. Thankfully, you are not in that kind of mental anguish. We had fun and laughter was essential up until it was not necessary any longer. I was amazed by her willingness to share her last few days of "seeing" loved one's and also strangers who just made her beam in delight. I'd ask her, "do you see them?" "YEs! They are talking to me." I could see her lips moving but no words I could hear. I said, "try talking to them" she relied, "oh I am!" She said, "why is D. here?" (her husband who passed 4 years earlier and who I took care of for 6 years.) I said, "because, he chose to be here for you. He loved you a lot, Dear". She smiled as he had never in 42 years said, I lovecyou". You are in my thoughts...you are doing GREAT!! Take good care and stay ALIVE as long as you wish/can!! All the best~

Bless you, @lilymarie. My last patient passed not long ago, also. What a blessing it is, to help them through those final hours of anxiety. Yours had one foot in the now and the other in eternity. I have had similar experiences, and they are so precious to me. Some have conversed and love to share that, because it soothes them. My last guy was 94.5 and he was ready. My previous one lived to be 104 and was sharp as a tack. These are wonderful, blessed experiences, some times almost miraculous, especially if the person hits that sweet spot, and is clear and conscious. That's usually within 72 hours of the end. And when you see their joy at that point, you know all is well. Peace and Every Good!
