A lot of people, actually. But I'm older and was in a profession where that kind of thing was commonplace.

My father-in-law died in my arms 2 years after my wife.
He had cancer. Hospice at home. 24/7 nursing care. My mother-in-law sat on the couch and cursed him out for every minor infraction he ever committed in their long marriage. I was stunned to hear it. And sad. I loved my IN-LAWS as much as I love my own family.
I hugged him and told him to "go into the light" as he died.
He heard me. And just died. ...but there was something about that last look that troubles me to this day.
