Shoot, Jim, only just read that.
Since Grandad died I have wished I could read more accounts of people present when relatives stopped living.

I'm so glad I was there when Grandad died.
Because he would have died anyway and I just feel better that I was at his side.
In fact I told him to "Go home" because of his strong Catholic faith, and Mum and my sister (also Catholic) found this really comforting. He died about 15 minutes after that. I doubt he'd really heard any of us for at least 12 hours, but if it helped Mum & Law...

It helps me to process my own ambivilant feelings when I read about other people present at death when it was both expected and yet the loss was felt. Thanks for sharing.
