    I had a teacher tell me about when she was in the hospital with her husband when he died. She said that actually watching him die, it was peaceful and comforting to her. She said that it would help people to see someone die naturally, it really helped her to realize that it was a natural process and although it is very sad, it doesnt have to be something to be afraid of.

The Folly of youth is to think that intelligence is a subsitute for experience. The folly of age is to think that experience is a subsitute for intelligence.

Were you close to him? I, faintly, remember when my grandfathers died. Quite some time ago now.

When I was little and my family came to visit, he's take me and my brothers fishing or swimming or flying in planes. I have a lot of memories of doing stuff with my grandpa when I was little. The past several years I have a lot of memories of just assisting in helping him and my grandma after his stroke. For having a large family, we're all pretty close.

My family is the opposite. AFAIK, I have a grand total of 5 relatives on my scottish side. Almost certainly I have more, but we simply never contact or know them. On the Irish side there is about a dozen or so relatives, who we see very occasionally. Some we see all the time, some I have never met.

Oh and all my grandparents are dead. 2 died before I was even born, another one died when I was 4. *shrug*
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
