What was the most profound aspect of this experience for you?  

“Being with him as he died. My daughter held his right hand, and I cut the cloth that kept his left hand from spasmodically striking him. We sang to him, prayed with him, blessed him and thanked him. When he breathed that last breath, I could feel his spirit lift away. ‘That,’ I said to my daughter, ‘was amazing!’ His final gift to us was to take away forever our own fear of death.”
~ SHARON

“Being with him as he died was profound for me, as well. What also had a huge impact on me was his bravery and grace as he dealt with his paralysis, total dependency on others, and finally his death. He always had been a patient and gentle person, but considering all that he was dealing with, he constantly amazed me with his strong spirit.”
