It's a good thing he got to see you a doctor who would care and feel for him. Thanks for sharing this story.

great blog, i enjoyed reading it. From what i've heard, as people get older they are less afraid of death because they've experienced almost everything they can or wanted to anyways, therefore they die with satisfaction. The grandpa was probably already tired of what earth has to offer him.

"Thank you for letting him die well."

I'd like to live my life that I can say that I can die well.

Nice blog.

He lived a long life, and you helped him make it a better one. Take pride in what you did, and know that he left peacefully.

Is the "don't know why" part on being emotional because of the fact you are a doctor and and there's that thing about not getting emotionally attached to patients? (speaking from a layman's pov). I'm assuming he's not the first patient you've lost...just the closest.

Sorry for the loss. Good read.

Like the guy said, you shouldn't feel bad or sad or anything.

He had to die sometime, and 98 is a really good run. He was happy, he was very well prepared, and so was everyone who loved him.

That's a very, very good way to die. For everyone involved.

Some people die suddenly, unprepared, horribly, and it devastates everyone. That's when you feel sad.

He went peacefully and thats the best anybody can ask for. Good blog.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I can only hope I go out like he did, surrounded by loving family and friends and knowing you've had a good run on this earth, and with the positive attitude he had.

R.I.P. homie!

It's perfectly normal and healthy to grieve at this time. It's his right to do so - don't take that away from him, please.

Then, her granddaughter said something to me that has been ringing in my head ever since:

Say what. Shemale? o.O

Honestly though, I totally understand you. Losing some of the best lives can be the hardest losses.

98 years? I can only wish to have a chance of living that long.

I wonder though at 98 years do you get bored of life? Does having loved ones you used to know / grow up with / look up to die before you make you dislike life? (obviously not so much in his case because he had his daughter and granddaughter)

He went in peace, that really matters. You should not feel bad, like many people here have said. But hey, it's not like you chose to feel that way.

It reminded me of a story my father told me recently, of a great uncle of mine who passed away many years ago. He used to read to his wife every evening. One night, he was reading, and then came to a pause. When she looked, he had passed away, just like that. A very old man, doing what he loved to do, sitting and reading a book to his wife.

98 years old is quite amazing and his readiness to move on from this life is also a wonder. I think of all the illness and tragedy that will take most of us before that age... to make it through to 98 is a miracle. And his state of mind... how many people are ready for death when they die?

His death was a peaceful one. And it seems he lived a life to which he really could bring closure.

Glad that when he finally passed, you were with him.

When I'm lying on my deathbed, I want to have that state of mind. No regrets, no fear, just acceptance of what is inevitable, and happiness for the life I lived.

What a noble man and a graceful way of accepting closure. May he RIP.
Thanks for a good read.
