You are allowing her to exit this world in her own way, on her own terms. She knows you are with her - I am sure she appreciates it. You know She also is grateful that you are giving her the space she needs to make this transition.

Playing solfège’s tones in another room at low volume really seemed to help Sal - she was18 when she left.

I think you are doing everything right - it will hurt when she is gone, but you will know she left in beauty
