M girlfriend Rachel had a close friend, a woman in her upper 80's when she died. They were inseparable for 12 years. As Jackie aged Rachel went from a friend to a trusted caregiver. Two weeks ago Jackie had a massive stroke. When we got to the hospital we were told there was no brain activity whatsoever and any "responses" would be a reaction to changes in medications. We were there for two hours during which we noticed no movement with the exception of a slight twitching in her legs. When we were leaving the hospital Rachel reached over and whispered goodbye. Jackie raised her arm and held it against Rachel's face. We were shocked. Does anyone have any idea why this would have taken place?

    I have heard that hearing is the last sense to stop functioning.

    When my mother died ( also stroke ) she was not responding at all until she heard her grandson's booming voice.

    Sorry that you have lost a dear friend. but good that you were able to be there.
