have you experience witnessing someone took their last breath and died?

Yes, I have experience this, it was my friend's dad. He suffer from a heart attack and has been transfer to a regular room after being at the ICU for 1 week when he started to suffer convulsion and lost his breathe. The doctors try to recover him but his wife (my friend's mom) told them to stop and let his husband lay to rest. I admire the courage of this woman, she has seen how her husband suffer and doesn't to see more of his sufferings. I honestly commend you letting your grandma to resign from this life. She has achieve a lot from this life and I think it is really her time. Just always think of the fun and good things you spend with her and not the time of her demise. I am sure that she wants you to keep good memories and not the bad ones. You did a very good job.

Yes, I have been a witnessed to a lot of people dying and seeing their last breath. This is because I have worked as a paramedic for about 13 years and responding to emergencies is part of my work. Well, I have to give out my best and try to bring them back to life. There are those that I was able to save and there are those I cannot. What is important is that I give out my best.

yeah i did, i was alone when i went visiting my grandfather at the hospital at that time, i visited him for no reason, my mind's really telling me to go to the hospital and visit my grandpa, so i hurriedly visit him. There was no people around the room since it's lunch time and my parents were just eating their lunch in our house, i suddenly saw my grandpa breathed so fast that he opened his mouth but his eyes were closed. i called him and shouted his name, but he never heard what i had said, until i witnessed his last breath, i could see his fingernails got black and his toes gets black too, i then hurriedly called the nurse and was shocked to what had happened it took me three days to sleep well after the incident.

The mere fact that you see someone close to you dying is an unfortunate feeling.I felt so helpless. I saw my dad die and I felt that it was not right. That was 8 years ago. He was not able to bid us farewell because it was a heart attack. Until now I felt that it is still not right but life has to move on.

No I have not witness someone taking their last breath. I think you did the right thing by telling her she should rest. You should not feel bad for letting her know how much you love her and understood what she was going through by telling her it was okay to rest now.

I think what you do is the right thing to do at that time. Your grandmother and just like other dying people would have want to live this world knowing that their love ones will be okay when they go. She just wanted your assurance that you can be able to accept her disappearance in this world. As you said, you are closely attached and together you have gone to so many things. The reason why she kept on telling you about the pains she was having is because she wanted to hear from you that you are ready to let go of her. What you did is actually an act of bravery and selflessness. If you told her the other way, you would just probably prolong her agony and pain. Can you stand to see that? That will be harder for both of you. Your grandmother is in a wonderful place already. A place without pain, sadness and hunger... a perfect place beside our Lord God! And thanks to you. It is her time and you had just gave me her a favor of making her leave at peace. She really wanted to leave but having a second thought because of you and other love ones. Do not worry at all, your grandmother would not want to see you feeling guilty or blaming yourself for nothing.

Hi, jndlponti, I'm sorry to hear that. Fortunately, I haven't experienced it so far. When my grandparents leaving, my parents protect me avoiding this situation. My parents just informed me when grandparents had passed away. I'm sorry that you have this feeling that your grandmother's leaving with your approval. That's not your fault indeed. Sometimes I just think we should respect the person's own idea. I think she was relieved because you have grown-up. You have been a independent person. We all have to face this situation, our close relates or friends pass away sooner or later. It's really heart-struke. But I think it's not your grandmother's will to make you regret. And I think she gets the eternal peace. Hope you will be better soon. Cheers up, for your grandmother!

Nobody wanted to see our loveones to suffer pain, so what you said to her is right. She should rest from all the pain. I can feel what you feel too, it also going to bothered me if I'm in your situation, coz it's not easy to lost your loveones. But in my case, I never experienced it, when my late grandDad past-away, I was in my parents place, but i will never forget him, his a good grandDad to me. Happy myloting.

I agree... I did not witness my grandmother die but I did see her a couple days before she passed and told it was okay if she had to leave us.... We would understand.... She held on long enough to see my cousin and passed on... I felt awful for not being there with her but I think she knew I would not be able to handle it... I was supposed to go see her the next day... So yes I agree with you! If she was tired and suffering I think you said the right things....

I was there when my mother breathed her last. It was an awful feeling; te whole world had collapsed on me and all I could see was darkness. Yes, I loved my mother a lot and to see her dying in front of my eyes was the last thing I wanted. She was in hospital at that time and because she had sugar, she had lost her kidneys and was on dialysis. Even though I knew that she wouldn't live much longer, I lost the most loving person on earth.

Unfortunately, I have witnessed someone taking their last breath and dying. It's a picture in my mind that I'll never forget. it was my husband. He had cancer and was on hospice care for the last two months of his life. A hospice nurse was coming for a visit. Before she arrived I was with my husband. I literally watched him breathe his last and slip away. There was nothing I could do to help him. It was so devasting to me.

Very hard question to remember the answer. that was my grand mother. when i was only in my 9th standard and very young. during that time i saw that incident, when every body was saying that now nothing left and she was leaving us. she took her last breath as we come to know when there were no movement in the vein of her neck. that was a very different kind of thing in my life.

No, not yet. But If I must, I want it to be in a peaceful setting
