[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 414231, member: 3419"] Sigh. I am so sorry. But I am so glad you were there. And you must be glad, for sure. No matter what passed between you all those yrs, it was very important that you were there. Closure is so important. If it makes you feel any better, he was already gone when he was gasping for air. That is the body's response to dying ... it no longer has that mind/body connection and it's just a neurological response. He wasn't suffering. It is awful to watch, though. There are several definitions for different points, but here is one I found: Definition: Cheyne-Stokes respirations are defined by irregular breathing. Breathing may be fast one moment and quite slow the next and may have periods of apnea, or no breathing at all. Cheyne-Stokes respirations are often seen near the end of life. [/QUOTE]
