This resonated with me. I lost my grandfather to cancer and after watching his health deteriorate, it was a relief when he passed and was finally able to be at peace.
It was also a time when, despite our differences, we united as a family again. Cruel as it might be, mortality has a way of bringing people together.
Thank you for sharing this.
You are right in that. People come together in times of tragedy, and it lends some degree of urgency to our own lives, to right the wrongs, find love/humor/happiness, and discard old grievances. We don't always do it, but at least we get the chance to.
