Reply #7: I know, I felt the same way when my Dad was dying. He knew I was there.

I think that most dying people would rather have their family and friends gather around at the end, than die hoping those people will at least come to the funeral. You know?

The situation at hand is with Mom's sister. Mom was crying because she said she will never see her sister alive again. I told her, "Go now! See her now!" But Mom wants to wait for the funeral. I really don't understand her decision, and to be honest it kind of upsets me. Then I thought, well, maybe there are reasons for wanting to wait that I have never considered and that might change my mind. So I thought I'd ask here. But so far... no new insights in that direction.

=sigh= I wish she would go now.

Thanks.
