I heard a line from a tv show preview... stating that once you see someone die, it changes you forever. The first person that I ever saw really die was my grandmother. I am not sure to this day that I ever really got over that, to tell the truth. I still miss her terribly. Now, I have seen people die in the hospital many times, but it has never really affected me as much as my grandmother's death. Of course, I knew and loved my grandmother, so I am sure that would be the difference there.
But, I think that being with someone when they pass, especially if they do not have any family there with them, is important. I wouldn't want to die alone, and I don't think that anyone should have to. I'd like to think that there is an unmeasurable amount of comfort for that person, knowing that they aren't alone; that is okay to let go.
Just had to ponder that for a moment... now I have to go study.
