It was very tough to honor her wishes, yet still get the kids a final conversation with her. I managed to do both, but it took until the 11th hour for the kids to get it, and I know they have some peace about that. Again my sympathies, and I am glad you got to spend some time with her.

coyote, i'm sorry to hear of your loss

i know how you feel, i had to watch my grandfather wither away to nothing, i was a strong man and we had to see him loose the ability to do anything. so, i'm with ya and i'm sure a lot of people are too.
on saying good bye, the only thing that i can say is just be there! you don't need to say anything .... just be there for your friend, that's more than enough.
