Frank passed this morning...

in Caregivers #1
...at around 5:25am. His breathing had been steady all night. I suddenly woke up and heard silence. At the same time the aide got up and looked at him, then called my name, and said he is going, talk to him now. I didn't get to see his last breath but I told him I loved hm and that we would always be together in spirit. He went just like that; no struggling, just peacefully.

    You Are So Very Brave
    Karen,

    Be gentle with yourself in the coming days and remember you are not ever alone alone when you walk the halls in the sounds of silence. Thank you for sharing the most difficult journey of your lives together with us.

    Honoring Franks memory today in the fight of cancer...

    Words
    Words of sympathy are of little help as you try to negotiate the next few days. Just know that I am here and wish you peace. Take care of yourself now. Allow yourself to grieve in your own way and time. Prayers and hugs, Fay

    prayers lifted for peace
    Karenbeth, know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. May you have the peace of knowing Frank is in no pain and that all his needs are being answered by God.

    I'm sorry I did not respond before now: my mom passed the same morning. I was with her and holding her when she left this earth.

    Hugs.
