when my father was in his coma, he came out of it and told my mother and me to shut up....his final words on earth...we were fighting about my sister...my father always said we would never let him die in peace lol.....how prophetic.....there came a point when he was in the coma when I felt he was no longer in his body..as if his soul had departed.....I also "saw" a bust of three holy men besides his bed at one point....at the funeral I had the strongest impression that he was looking down at me from the skies and his body was just a container...no longer my father....it was very comforting....
try not to be alone during this period if you can....use this board to express your emotions if you can and know we are so close to you.

I wish I knew what to say Barbara, I know you're hurting right now and I wish I could do more then offer some hugs. :hugs:

Take care of yourself BF.

((((Barbara))))

Barb

As you know my friends family just went through this with their daughter.

And they were there when she went. But they wanted to be because it
was how they said their good bye's. So I would just go say good-bye
to him when you are ready. And let that be it.

He will truely understand and he knows how you feel.

Remember he is your soul mate, and he knows you.

Barb - True what Donna said you and Doug are soul mates.

I believe Doug knew you were there in the ER when you spoke to him.

I know this is so difficult, but you have been his angel and he knows that. Knowing that you where always there for him and did all you could should make you feel at ease with no regrets. Doug will always be watching over you and in your heart.

Take care, go easy, and remember all the times you both laughed together and had good times. Try not to be alone at this time either.

You will need time to grieve, but God will help you through. Have faith.

We are all here for you too.
