Empathy

What do you do when someone you've spent most of your years with is slowly slipping away from this world?

Today I visited my maternal grandfather in hospital... It was saddening to see him in such a frail state. I felt worse after we talked to my grandmother, who's been at his bedside, looking after him. She must have felt terrible, being powerless against the tide of time...

Most people claim that they aren't afraid of death, but what about the loss of someone dearly close to you?
