I don't think.we are adequately taught to accept death and aging as we should, so death can be terrifying for most of us. And I'd say the bodies inbuilt survival system is pretty strong...
When I asked Dad if he'd go through that awful chemo again he said yes, because he is too young to die. He is 71. I'm not ready to see him die either!

Yes it is too difficult to part with our loved one and we keep hoping there is a reversal for them. It was the same with my dad, but when he passed into coma, I wished for his exit because by then we knew there was no coming back and if there would be he would be in vegetable state. It is a difficult part of life and we have to face it.
