We are all trying to adjust to the sudden death of our friend. He has been my husband's roommate for 11 months at Extended Care.

Though the unexpected aspect is so difficult for those of us left behind, we are grateful for the ease with which he passed between worlds. He didn't suffer. He never lost the quality of his life. May all of us be so lucky as to take a nap and just not awaken.

Death can often be so brutal. His death left him with the dignity he displayed throughout his life. And that in itself is beautiful.
