I saw both my grandmothers die and it was an awful process, one that I think as a modern, evolved society we could handle a lot better.

Pretty interesting that your grandfather knew of the imminence of his death and seemed content with that knowledge. No matter how much joy has been taken out of living, death would still seem a frightening unknown prospect. Don’t know when he suffered his stroke, but sounds like your grandfather lived a long, fulfilling life. That’s about all we can ask for, I guess. Thanks again.

I wonder how many people have experienced such a warm relationship with a grandparent. Your experiences closely reflect my own, although my paternal-grandfather was a former Pentecostal preacher and house-painter.

He, too, suffered a stroke. While he could still speak, his joy was gone and he became a dim memory of the strong, humorous, fun-loving patriarch he had once been. He lived just shy of 100 years.

I recall my last conversion with him. He said, “You should probably cancel that birthday party because I’m going to die this week.” The next day he was in ICU and he never saw daybreak again.
