Life is short

I agree with Fungirlmmm. My best friend had a stroke. His sister couldn't be there for him. I couldn't let him die alone. I played his favorite music. When it stopped, he became agitated even though he was in a coma. When I restarted the music he calmed down. I held his hand as he passed. He knew I was there. It made a difference. No regrets.

No one should have to be alone in dying. You have my condolences and my prayers. Please try to be with her as the hospital is a cold place and just being here is defeating. It will be hard but you won't have to have regrets later.

I understand your pain in this, went through it as a medic with some patients, and with family too.

As much as it breaks your heart, you have to keep them in mind. Yes you will lose it, we all do with family, but the one thing to remember is they are probably a bit scared too. This is uncharted territory, a step into eternity to put it mildly. You are extremely important to them and will be the last person they see here.

With my patients, i looked at it as an honor wierdly enough to hold their hand as they passed. Yes, i would tear up a bit, but this was where i was supposed to be at the time. Usually i had no idea who they were, just that they wore a uniform.

When it was my family, i would have a tear - doing everything i could *not* to breakdown. I would place my hand on them for physical touch (for myself and them) and let them know what they meant to me and how much i love them.
-im welling up a little thinking about the last tine as i write this.

My heart goes out to you, your family and your aunt.

I held my daddy's hand as he passed. It was heart breaking and yet I felt a sense of dare I say pride for putting my personal emotions aside and was there for my daddy as he passed. That was a huge accomplishment for me with my ptsd active and everyone from the preacher to the surviving men he served with said there was no greater honor to bestow on someone you love who is passing that to be there for them as they go.

You are one of the strongest women I know. You have suffered through so much personal tragedy of your own and still come out swinging at life. You can do anything, especially with God by your side.

I am sorry for this illness and her suffering. Hugs!

I feel sorry. I also pray to God to provide you strength to be with her. She is in coma means you will not be watching any of activity from her side.
Be prepared for it. Does she have other relatives too by her side?

Its very hard to do, but it's worth it. I was with my mother until her last breath. I both cherish and feel sad for that. But in hindsight, it was a blessing. 😔🤗🙏😇

🙏 keep the strength🤗

Be strong… she would want you by her side. I went through the same thing with my dad. It’s not easy.

Just try to think how she will be done with the pain she is in and in a better place. Hang in there Lissa

I'm so sorry

Sending prayers your way.

It’s not easy, but is achievable and rewarding..🤗🤗🙏

I believe the greatest gift we can give a person is our presence as they finish their earthly business. And, in the midst of the pain of the loss, it’s the greatest gift we receive as well. There’s a quiet reverence to the entire experience.
My thoughts are with you both.

Just hang tough.... and be there... sadly the passing loved ones do know we are there.... talk to her and hold her hand.... and tell Her it's ok to cross over! I shall pray for strenth for you! So sorry your Aunt is passing!

If your not there you will torture yourself with feelings of guilt for the rest of your life. I went through the same with my dad when he passed ,just be there Lisa and let her know your there even if she is in a coma tell her

So sorry for you going through this. Please be with her if you can
Prayers for you both. May you find comfort in the love and memories you share.

Try to be there anyway. A lot of times people in comas can still hear what's around them even though they don't respond.

You can do it. Unless you think she’d rather you not. I think my mom waited till I left.

I’m sorry you keep losing people.

She shouldn`t be alone. You`ll need to step up I guess. My thoughts go out to her and to you. ❤️

I'm sorry.
Be strong, be there for her. It's the last time.

You're stronger than you know - Very Sorry...

My thoughts and prayers are with you

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you and the family sweetie

Hugs and Prayers

😔 so sorry

🙏🙏🙏

I am sorry for what you are going through.

I have twice been with someone as they passed and both times i was so glad i was. I am fairly agnostic, but if there is any chance of some sort of afterlife then they will know i was there and they were loved.

Do what you can, you are the one that needs to live with your choices

I am so sorry. This is such a hard thing to go through and being with a loved one when they pass. I was with my great aunt and I will never forget it.

I think you will find the strength you need to be with her.

Are you worrying you aren’t mentally capable because you’re so close?
