@merpreb The transitional time of a person is indeed a period where those who caregive are so needed. As a family member, be it spouse or child, it is an honor to assist that person, even if they may not appear to be aware. Hearing is the last sense to quiet, so comforting words or music often quiets the stress. I know for both of my parents, they each waited until I wasn't looking [literally] before they took their last earthly breath.
We each have a wide spectrum of moods and emotions as we go through this, just like the patient does. And conversations can run the gamut.
@turtle115 My wish is for peace for both of you.
