I am living proof of that fallacy!!!!!
The darkest days are yet to come for Nancy, my heart breaks for her.
After watching your beloved die before your eyes, minches at a time, for a long time, you still want them to be there, even if the mind is gone.
Maybe moreso, since you were at their side night and day, up front and personal.
inches, not minches, (sp)
i don't think it's a myth... i've seen in happen a couple of times... both w/in one year... of course, that doesn't mean it happens all of the time; hence your experience...
