We had all always thought he would live to be 99. Now I feel he was lucky he didn't suffer, and died knowing his wife and children were happy. I used to feel terrible about his one unfulfilled wish, of eating endless ice creams on my daughter's wedding...Indian Home Makerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649133480442907582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089956061483501286.post-35470818577694596482011-02-08T23:11:28.736+05:302011-02-08T23:11:28.736+05:30@U: I'm so sorry to hear that.

What I do strongly feel is that seeing a loved one undergo extreme suffering helps you loosen your ties to them- you are more willing to 'let go', when the time comes, because you cannot bear to see your loved ones in such a pitiable condition.dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089956061483501286.post-63291997378803297892011-02-07T18:03:58.156+05:302011-02-07T18:03:58.156+05:30Obviously the loss of that person will always be t...Obviously the loss of that person will always be there.. Death is and will always be inevitable. But we can pray for is, no sufferings when the end is near.. A peaceful end is what we all wish for... <br />Its a dicey situation actually... We would still like to have the person around alive, even if he may not be in the best of his health..

I know that apart from my father's extreme suffering in the last six months or so of his life, there was joy and meaning in his life throughout several years of debility. And he certainly enriched<br />my life during that time.dipalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01070862196307376073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089956061483501286.post-76183685671179026862011-02-07T14:46:59.596+05:302011-02-07T14:46:59.596+05:30So true, Dipali.

But again, I would not have had those last years with my father, had he passed away without suffering.<br />Whichever is better, and I am sure neither is, we have no choice but to carry on, is there?<br />And spending every moment missing them is the greatest disservice we can do to the people who we love.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00481081735923606868noreply@blogger.com
