There is a very beautiful (yet sad, I must warn) album about a hospice worker and a terminally-ill patient by The Antlers. The album is Hospice. It helped me along, when I was working at an elderly's home that had quite a few tenants die. It's a good album for self-reflection and just getting engrossed to beautiful music. That is all I can say on this apart from the fact that you should enjoy the rest of your days as much as you can. You can still do plenty of things :)

Well arse. I hope you're still getting these from time to time Mr Z and I'm very happy to read that you're still rocking out to Jules. Agreeing and disagreeing with you on these boards has been a blast, you'll be missed. I hope this last chapter is filled with the people you love and are closest to. You'll not catch me praying, but you are in my thoughts. So long buddy.

It's amazing how you keep recovering, Zack... I was sure you would either be gone by now or remain unresponsive. Hang in there. Make the best of however much you've got left.

I don't think I can add anything much that doesn't sound like I'm just repeating what people have said, but my thoughts are with you, Zaccheus, family and friends. May you find the strength you need in loving one another.

Not sure what to say, Z. You courage is giving me strength to look at my own situation with hope, and hopefully we all learn from you to squeeze every drop out of life while we still have it.

I'm sorry to say that I just found this. I didn't 'know' *Zaccheus* very well at all - but I feel so sad, and wish his wife strength and courage.
Quote:
Zack is now lying in a coma with me tigrou by his bedside, people have been lovely who work here at the hospice, I thank the Lord for each and everyone of the staff, yesterday we had communion with Zack led by Wil and 11 of our friends and family, a big thank you to who came, it was very special.
I stayed over at the hospice last night and got very little sleep if any due being disturbed by every little noise made me jump. May my Zack Rest in Peace knowing that he is going to a much better place where there is no-more pain, no-more suffering. He is going to be with his mum and I believe that he will be looking down on me, and everyone that he knows.
May Zack fly and be lifted up on the wings of an eagle and go to be with Jesus your maker and seated at the right hand of your father.
I know that Zack knows that i am here, i held his hand and he responded with a man grunt and a smile.
Zack was born 5/9/69-and died on 17/1/2011
Sadly Zack has just lost his 7 year battle with cancer, he is now at peace.
May my bear rest in peace. Lots of love from your best friend Tigrou.
