It was a slow fade. I don't know that he died of anything in particular (probably a heart attack), but he was simply fading out as he approached 94. He was still confrontational and obstreperous almost to the end. Odd, but when I received the news I was just screwing up my courage to call him on behalf of the other sibs to deliver the message that no, we weren't going to move him again a week after moving him the last time. I'd just written down the number (his phone was installed a day ago) when I got the news.

It's a mercy, but grief, of course, dismisses these rational considerations.

New Indeed it does.
I am truly sorry. I'm there with you. Mom was the last member of the family I was born into alive. Her last two weeks on this earth were absolutely horrific and yet, I know the sense of loss you speak of. It turns out the cliche is true: Time heals ...

It's only been a week, but already I'm feeling the grief lift, slowly but surely. As Scott says, "Hang in there." I can assure you things will improve. Until then, know that my thoughts are with you.
