[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To a pp, people usually die when the person there -- to hold their hand -- has stepped out of the room. [/quote] Yes, this happened with my sister, who had a developmental disability and was living in a group home. We arrived in the night. I spent a little time with her where a hospice music therapist was playing while she dozed (so beautiful), then went back to the hotel with the family. Got up the next morning and went over to sit with her. Then went back to get family to bring them over and while I had stepped out, she passed away. And the staff person told me, “our residents often let go when family has reached them.”[/quote]
