We just got word that he has passed. No pain. He did not wake again after Jacqueline left.
He just went to sleep, adrift on morphine until he wound down and let go.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I'm so sorry and also glad the very end was as OK as it could have been.

I'm so grateful Jacqueline was able to see him yesterday.

I'm sorry the trip was so hard, JZ, but I'm glad you saw your father. Much peace to you and your family now.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, I'm so sorry and also glad the very end was as OK as it could have been.
Echoing this. Hugs and/or sitting quietly by (from afar) as needed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thank you for updating, Hec. Love to all of you, and I'm glad Gene's passing was peaceful in the end. May his memory be a blessing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thank you for letting us know, Hec. It's a blessing that he was able to see JZ again and go so peacefully afterwards. And what a strange blessing, too, that because JZ got sick she was able to see him.
Poor Matilda. I hope she can reach some peace with it all soon.
