Sorry to hear that. If there's anything we can do to help, however remotely, let us know.

Hope the visit was.... there really isn't a good word for that in English, is there? I hope you had a good chance to say goodbye, at least.

No, there's no good word in English, but I did have the opportunity to say good-bye, which counts for a lot. What Mom wanted most was not to linger for months and months while her body continued to decay around her--and she got her wish. I hold onto that idea.

Thank you, Jonathan.
