Ddawn, you have my sincerest and heart felt empathy.
My hope for you is that you can find peace in knowing you did for her what no one else could do. You're letting her face death on her own terms.
Too often, we who are not the one on that path want to do selfish things to ease our own grief. Respecting her wishes is probably one of the hardest things you'll ever have to face, outside of her actual passing.
My prayers are with you and your friend. I hope that her passing is as peaceful and comfortable as can be made. She is heading to a better place I believe. I think you know that. It doesn't erase your own grief, but maybe it can ease it, just knowing that she is headed for a better existence. Surround her with love, warmth and compassion. She'll love you all the more for it.
My hope for myself, when my time comes, is to have a friend who is as compassionate and understanding as you are ddawn!
