[quote=Anonymous]I sat with my Mom as she died. Her health had been fragile, but we had had time to say things that needed to be said. For me, the important thing at that point wasn’t words, but my loving presence — so that she would not be alone with whatever happened. You might want to play music, or talk, or wear familiar perfume, or clothing in textures that might offer comfort. I held her hand sometimes, sat so my hands could touch your skin, and tried just to be there with her. After my Mom died, I waited with her body until the undertaker came. Afterwards I went home, took a long shower while I cried, then went to sleep. I knew that the next days would be demanding in different and possibly unexpected ways, so I wanted the peacefulness of sleep and space to grieve before I had to deal with planning things. It’s hard, OP. But it’s also a blessing to be able to be there with and for someone you love. Wishing you peace and comfort, OP. [/quote]
