@Typicalpisces I wouldn't call it a gift, it wasn't only for them. I know what you mean but by calling it a gift it makes it seem as if I did it for purely altruistic reasons.
@EuphoricTurtle In my experience, it does ease over time.
My father died when I was 14, my mother when I was 56, and some very dear friends have died before living out their natural spans.
But though I grieved, happiness, peace and normality did return.
And that's okay too.
There is no right or wrong way with grief, and no proper time.
It takes its own time and is different in every case.
I wish you the best.

No, it doesn't get easier. You're lucky you were able to do something like that for them though. To be able to see the sunset over the ocean one last time would mean the world to me, and I'll bet it did for them too.
When my mother was on her last fight against cancer, I was away at college, so I didn't have a chance to really do anything special for her. I went back to school at the start of the semester, and the next time I saw her, she was hooked up to life support in a hospital bed. I never even got a chance to have a last conversation. I did get to say goodbye before the end, but she was so full of painkillers, it was kind of a one-way conversation. Believe me, it's not easy.

@FaeLuna I know what you mean, especially in relation to my uncle, it seems that what the cancer doesn't take the medication does. I'm sorry you didn't have the opportunity to do something and that you didn't get to have one last conversation with clarity. It's not easy by any stretch of the imagination but I hope that's not recurrent thought in your mind and I hope you never forget that all the time you had together in health is worth infinitely more than what little time you didn't have in the end. take care

@whippersnapper trust me when I say that I've done more than enough to be considered an ass. I strive for decency, sometimes I achieve it but there are many times when I fail. But I appreciate the sentiment.

@yeronlyman the healthiest way to go about life truly is to celebrate the improbable odds that led it to occur. Excellent quote by the way
