Calendar Girl Blog: Christmas Eve

I arrived at Henry's bedside at noon.

Ten hours later, I returned home and turned the key to my front door.

Within minutes of my arrival at the palliative care centre, Henry had a seizure. By the time I left that evening, I had held him close, our eyes locked together, through at least 35 more. Each one wracking his body in intense spasm for 2 - 3 minutes.

Calendar Girl wishes peace to all.

It is hard watching someone move from this world into the next - especially at Christmas time.

I had to do it this time last year with my Mum. Given the life she had led in her 88 years with its ups and downs we felt peaceful about letting her go.

It is harder with someone in their 50s.

All my best wishes.
Chris
