My grandfather passed away this Saturday afternoon, while my family was visiting him. It has been pretty difficult and heartwrenching for everyone, but I'm glad that the family was able to be there when he needed us. I can take some comfort in the fact that it was a 'good' death; he wasn't in pain when he died, and he was around people who cared about him.
Of course, it was a very challenging experience; I think that the grief is harder to rationalize when you're directly witnessing the death of a loved one. I was very distraught for the first few days, but I think I've more or less regained my composure by now. More than anything, I feel lucky that I was able to see him and lend whatever support I could give.
