I know that when my mother was in hospice the nurses told us that people will hang on as long as friends and family are around.

The night we all went home to get some sleep was the night she passed away.

It is a tough decision but sometimes whether we like it or not we have to leave to let them go.

Letting go is very hard.

It's been 15 months since I watched my dad die, and I still don't think I have let him go entirely. I miss him every day. It's really difficult.

I'm so sorry.

:(

*sigh*

Hey guys, I just wanted to acknowledge what has to be a very difficult time for your family. T, K, you're in my thoughts. I hope you're getting sleep, and I hope your dad's holding up. It was a delight, meeting your parents at your wedding. If I can be of any service at all, let me know.

:( ty for the update K.

it's so hard to post when you don't know what to say. my heart goes out to T and K. that's so lame when words won't suffice.

I'm so sorry :(

More prayers and thoughts for you all. I've had you on my mind and in my heart all weekend. :(

Take care.

*Hugs*

My aunt was the same way, she stuck around while her sister was there caring for her, and the very day her sister finally had to drive back to Arizona, she passed away peacefully in her sleep that night.
