I am so sorry but I am glad you were blessed to spend that last time
with her. The calm you felt is Charlotte's parting gift of peace.

Charlotte has just passed away.
I came home from work, went into her room and she was lying on her
side,
crying and breathing heavily. I ran and let my dogs out, came back
to her
and held her for what turned out to be about 4 hours. She gradually
slowed
down, but was responding to my voice for quite a while. Eventually
that
stopped and I knew she was probably unconscious. She passed at the
stroke of
midnight, and I know it sounds crazy, but I immediately felt so
calm - I can
only explain it by saying that as soon as she died I physically
felt her
suffering end. It was so strange. I am sitting here crying as I
write this
even though I know it's better and she won't be in pain any more.
But she'd
been doing so well and eating like a pig. Just this morning she was
stuffing
her face with chicken. So I thought that maybe I could have her
with me for
just a while longer, and just maybe she'd be one who survived
despite the
odds. Guess I was wrong. I hate this disease.
Thanks everyone for all your help.
Laura
