saying goodbye to someone who you know is dying

Reminds me of when I lost my mother a couple of years ago. I was the last one to leave. I told her I would stay with her that night until she went to sleep (knowing that she probably would never wake back up). Forgiving them for whatever wrongs (real or perceived), apologizing for whatever wrongs (real or perceived), and telling them that you love them and glad they brought you into this world and hung with you - good and bad, is a good way to bring closure. I wanted to do whatever I could to make her exit as dignified and graceful as possible.
