And yet… an invaluable opportunity to say goodbye and "get affairs in order". The suffering for all affected, I completely agree, I would not want anyone to go through. But compared to a recent bereavement I experienced where this person just did not come home, having died suddenly, unexpectedly, tragically alone and unseen. Would that I could choose, I think I would like the notice, despite the downsides. Love to all dealing with grief.
