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!

Thank you for the kind and generous feedback. It is very true what you wrote and, like you (pretty sure), there have been many wonderful stories you now reflect on that were pretty miraculous. Such as it is with me and which is why I love being a caregiver. That sweet spot is what we wait for when we are paired with someone who is facing their next step forward into eternity. That sweet spot is what I look forward to and am grateful that, for whatever reason, it was me who was chosen for them. It took ten plus years for my client (beloved friend as I knew her since I was 13) to have NO anxiety any longer...her soul found the peace and her mind was healed. I miss my friend fiercely every day, and yet, my own heart is happy she is no longer in that state of anxiety. Peace, harmony, infinite well being...!
