Two friends and I were with him in his last hours, holding his hands, chatting and laughing.
Sara, I’m so sorry and sad for you to hear of your loss.
When I reflect about your above statement what resonates in my mind is there are so many people in this world that die each day alone, abandoned, forgotten, and some with no spiritual vision.
Your being at Andrew’s bedside to comfort him by giving him your compassionate attention at the moments of his greatest vulnerability helped ease his pain and suffering.
I hope in my final hour I would have someone with your strength, grace, and courage to be there for me just like you were there for Andrew.
