so have I - thanks for sharing this. no one should die alone, to hold the hand of a loved one in their final hours is an honour and one of the hardest things you will ever do.  Love is the life of the soul... |

This is a very touching piece. I have never experienced a family member die before. My mom and dad did though. They were there when my grandmother passed. When the family is together, the soul is at peace - Russian Proverb |
