Dane needed 24/7 care before his death.
Gayheart was a key helper when it came to Dane's 24/7 care before his death. She described how he needed constant attention in an essay she shared in December 2025.
"The week is divided into 21 shifts. There are times that shifts aren't covered, so I cover them," she shared.
"There was a 12-hour shift recently that I could not cover. I could only do four hours because of all the stuff that the kids are doing," she explained about their teen daughters.
Gayheart added, "So I had to call on two of Eric's friends... And they both showed up and did a wonderful job."
