Good choice, all in all, I think. We visited with her when she was mostly there or somewhat there, brought her her favorite ice cream... played music, and just chatted -- mostly around her, as she was generally too weak to actively participate (though not always). We played music she loved. We took advantage of the situation to push for the utmost in pain relief for her.<BR/><BR/>In the end, some of us were with her, holding her hands, telling her it was ok to go... and playing her favorite music for her.<BR/><BR/>Within the context of what was possible... there's almost nothing that could have been done differently that I'd do or ask for.ogrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910505029382522110noreply@blogger.com
