I sometimes feel that maybe it was harder ending it while being so close- those last few days I was closest to him then ever before.. I was the only one who really went out of their way to entertain him. He died suddenly, but peacefully.
I wish the best for your grandmother, and yourself.

hmm when my grandfather died in 2000 i was only 14 then, i believe it was one of the hardest things i ever had faced. my problem was i held my emotions inside too much. i dont know why, but i felt it was being weak to cry. i only found out later that my grandfathers last thing in his journal was...
Sun 11/5
Went to new house, played chess with VJ. had a great time with him, a swell time. House is looking better all the time.
They were in the process of moving into a retirement village, and I had gone over to their temporary appt. and played chess with him one afternoon to keep him company.
after they finally moved in, a week later he died. ugh memories... they bring the tears back...
