Kurt,
If you are going to quote someone, at least try to be accurate. This is what I wrote:
[From what I know of what took Waltz's life, I doubt he said anything at the moment of death. In fact, I doubt he said much that was coherent that night....at all.
The thing you hear the most in the last hours is......"help me"]
From that you get this:
"The last few hours all one does is say help me???..."
I have been in the healthcare business for over 20-years now. In that time, I have been with dozens of people in their last hours. Some say nothing. Most have simply said, over and over again, "HELP ME".
Unlike you, I did not take that to mean the person was afraid of death. They probably have no idea what is going on, other than that they are in extreme pain.
No one can say what a man, or woman, will say in those hours and after days of torment. I doubt they even know.
What kind of man I am, or you think you are, makes absolutely no difference. In those final hours, many become someone different than what they were.
I appreciate your comments, but your experience with Jim, I would say, does not make you an authority on the subject.
