She was unresponsive this morning when I arrived at the MC. She stayed that way so I alerted family and friends. Hospice nurse said she is beginning to transition but she snapped back this afternoon a little.

    You’ve been a wonderful caregiver to her, and I hope this next stage will happen quickly and with no drama-just a peaceful letting go.

    I wish you both peace during this transition time. You have been a fantastic caregiver, husband and friend to your wife. She has been so very lucky to have you by her side.
