The death of my grandfather was probably the worst thing that happened to me.
It's been about 6 years, and eventually you get over it. That's not to say I don't care about death though. It really is horrible and crushing to see someone so close die. But it happens.
To those of you who haven't experienced a close person's death, this is for you.
At the time it feels like a living hell, and you cannot seem to stop feeling emotional about it. But you have to overlook it, I mean, it's very hard to break it to someone, my mum could not keep still while she broke the news to me.
I don't think I really fear death of myself, I fear trying to live without someone so close, just gone.
In my opinion, a quick death is a lot less painful emotionally. Like others have said, I find it harder to see someone die in a hospital, slowly. It's horrible watching them slowly fade away, hooked up to a machine.
You can't escape death, it's always behind you...
