On knowing when to let go, yes, they do. My SIL was on life support and in a coma for all we knew for the last few weeks of her life. When my brother went in that morning to take her off of life support, he reached over, put his hands on her shoulders to gently shake her and said "I am letting you go home now, to see Christ" and she smiled.

I agree.

When my father was in his last few days, dying of cancer, I went in to give him a pill that was to help with his urinary tract infection. It was this big horse pill. He told me he was not going to take it, that he didn't need it. I said "You have to take it for your infection". He smiled, shook his head at me, and said "I don't need it anymore". That was the last day he was lucid. The next day, we took him back to the hospital, and he left us the morning after.

Her work here was finished. She went on to better. Much better.

And to those left behind..... much growth, wonderful memories, new beginnings.

so much depends on the individuals left behind. If they are half full cup people, they will usually do well. If they are half empty people. well, you know

Such is the process of life, death, new life.........
