I've heard a few people say that sometimes the dying know when they are alone and wait for that time to pass.
my mom did this very thing. she held on for a little more than a week at the end of her illness - completely comatose, and once my oldest brother, who had been at her bedside with me the whole time, left to go back to memphis to see his wife and kids- our mom passed within abt an hour.
He told me later night when she died, that she'd mentioned before something to the effect that she couldn't die if he were there. crazy. it still haunts my brother to this day.

Exactly. I just wanted to bring to this board for Big Scrub (and others in similar situations) that the intentions for being there for support are as good as gold, but don't beat yourself up as a failure if they pass while you stepped away for a few minutes.
We don't fully understand this, but all we can do is trust God's plan.
