These heartbreaking pictures show a couple holding hands as they said their final goodbye to each other in intensive care.
Jim Minnini, 58, was in hospital with terminal lung cancer on May 4 when he made a desperate plea to see his wife, Cindy, one last time.
Cindy - who was recovering from a heart attack she suffered after Jim was hospitalized - was in the next room after doctors transferred her to Kingston General Hospital, in Ontario, so she could be with her dying husband.
She was sedated and unconscious when her partner of 24 years was taken into her room, and she did not know he had been with her until after she woke up - but by then her husband had died.
The touching photographs of the couple holding hands were shared by their son, Chris, who said his father was not prepared to die without saying goodbye to the love of his life.

Chris, 21, told The Whig that his parents were perfect for each other, and were 'inseparable' from day one.
He said his father was over the moon when, back in 1994, he found out Cindy was pregnant.
'He started crying, he was so happy. It was the best day of his life. That's all he had ever wanted,' he said.
