for you. I've seen a couple of people die my aunt and my dad and although it is horrible what is happening, it can also be very peaceful and special to spend those last few moments with them. For example my aunt was smiling as she died, and although I was technically speaking with my dad as he actually died (he waited until we were out the room), I could still feel that he'd had a great weight lifted so to speak... I believe quite strongly we have to do what we're comfortable with, but sometimes making that extra bit of effort can be really worthwhile. I hope you get to spend some precious time with your grandad, my dad was unconscious before he died but my aunt was conscious so we got the chance to have some wonderful last conversations that are good memories to have of her.
