I remember rushing my Dad to the Hospital, getting in ER, getting the Diagnosis that he was going to die but it was going to take some time, he was going to die but they estimated it'd be a few weeks, so they were going to get him a room so..."why dont you go home, get some rest and something to eat" because we rushed him there in the middle of the night.
So I did. I went home and the moment I stepped out of the shower my phone goes off and its the Hospital:
"This is happening and its happening right now!"
I was the first member of my family to make it back to the Hospital. Just in time for his last breath.
I was thankful. He'd have hated just lying in the Hospital waiting to die.

I had a different experience with my Dad. He was in a coma and we all told him it was okay for him to let go. He waited until my mother, my brother and myself went to grab a bite to eat. While at a restaurant we get a call from a nurse saying he passed. Since that time, I have read books from medical professionals that say that patients often don't die when family is around as they sense conflict in the room.
