>>6579733I've experienced something similar.
My grand dad passed away last spring. A few hours before his death, we received a phone call from his nursing home letting us know that he was not well, I think he had trouble breathing. My mum came upstairs and woke me up, she said "we're going to see grand dad today, he's having trouble breathing." we weren't leaving for a couple of hours, so I went back to sleep. Two hours later, I heard the phone ring again. I went downstairs to see my mother crying at the phone. She told me what happened. I cried and hugged her for about five minutes.
My family and I all went to his nursing home and met in his room. After seeing my aunt, I noticed his body was still in his bed.
After the guys from the funeral home showed up, I took a moment to sit beside his bed alone before they took him away, for some sort of closure.
I regret not visiting him with my mother in his last few years, I always either had something else planned that day or wasn't feeling great. After my Nana passed away a few years prior, I saw him go from the cheerful man he was into a depression. He didn't talk much after her death.
I never got to tell either of them I loved them before their deaths.
Pic somewhat related, he died on the same day he enlisted for the Canadian military in 1944.
