A joyful evening can turn at any second. A thought provoking piece as well. Death brings so many different ends and beginnings for all involved.Mishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298805958255695264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-22563773236806544042016-12-13T11:36:38.671-08:002016-12-13T11:36:38.671-08:00There is such a blessing that he had reached some ...There is such a blessing that he had reached some clarity at last.. so mixed feeling for such a night.. it could have been for the best, but it feels strange to say so.brudberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563403553536472377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-40512319093423284242016-12-13T01:36:52.565-08:002016-12-13T01:36:52.565-08:00Well, that takes the definition of 'a good nig...Well, that takes the definition of 'a good night' to a completely different level!

My heart went out to your family having to cope with the changes. I can imagine that you would go through a wide range of feelings under these circumstances at the time of death.

I have seen relief so often, and felt it to some extent myself with various patients and even a bit with my mother who would not have wanted to be as she was, though she always remained her loving, grateful self. I grieve for the "her" of a few years ago and beyond. I suspect that the smile was a sign of peace.Victoriahttp://liv2write2day.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327165758377801408.post-41237438259506219412016-12-12T15:56:19.166-08:002016-12-12T15:56:19.166-08:00A mixed of emotions here Glenn - grief, sadness an...A mixed of emotions here Glenn - grief, sadness and relief ~ Sometimes it comes in both, pulling us in different directions.
