    Amazing grace and sleep dearie sleep. Kinda weird, my friend had been very courageous up to the end and passed with her family and husband at hand. She asked if it was OK to go and everyone said yes. That was it. The funeral was actually very joyous somehow....Hard to explain, but she made time to say a long goodbye to everyone. I think that helped. Thanks for the condolences though.

    Very touching, and with everyone there to walk her to the bridge. In some way, it makes it easier to know that the good fight has been fought, and the time to rest has come and is accepted. When we accept that our loved one is ready and wiling to make the trip, it somehow makes the passing more of a bon voyage! Know what I mean!

    I applaude your strenght in being able to play your friend off!

    Yes, I think you are right Josh, your friend had the time to process leaving this life, saying the goodbyes to friends and love ones and prepare herself in coming to her understanding what was on the other side of this earthy existence. Sounds to me she conquered death and is peace on the other side. My condolescences to all she has left behind.
