> I do not think that I have ever done anything in my life that was any more important. My grandmother was in hospital on palatial care. We didn't know how long she would have, but it wasn't much. I look an awful lot like my uncle due to having curly hair. I sat with her holding her hand for hours, just being with her and making sure she wasn't alone. She thought I was my uncle most of the time, but it didn't matter. (Very confused nurses when she called me her son.) I still consider it one of the most important things I've done. Being there for someone in their final days is sad, but also a gift if they can be provided some comfort.
