She had 14 children and was the matriarch of the family. Granted she was 80+ yrs old, but its still a mother to all those children.
She will leave behind some memories some sad and some happy. How can he be so cold as to not recognize this death as a sad moment for the family.
He says it was time for her to go and he thinks no one will be grieving.
I lost a patient 4 yrs ago who was 103 yrs old. Her eldest daughter stood at the bedside and cried while I held her and comforted her. I think it doesnt matter if your 35 or 105, its still someones mother/father and age doesnt make a difference. Grief is still experienced, and the loss of your parent is a sad moment no matter how old you are. Any thoughts on this?
Am I just over emotional or is he nuts? Have you lost a parent and how did you feel?

He sounds cold, heartless, and like he has no respect for life or any-ones feelings or emotions. I'm so glad you're not that way and I hope he is no friend of yours or mine. The irony is that even someone of his low caliber will be grieved for by someone some day.

Well I wouldn't hold it against someone for saying that, people have a full range of emotions and opinions about life and death. He's wrong perhaps that nobody will grieve, but people grieve differently, some take the realistic approach, others a more emotional approach. It's not a matter of agreeing with someone, it's just a matter of letting people deal with a loss however their brain works on the issue.

I totally agree with you. I haven't lost a parent but I have lost a grandparent and it was emotionally hard for the whole family.

One of the first forms of grief is denial. You should know that. Your reference to yourself is that of a professional.

You are feeling normal emotions.
Your friend sounds a little immature emotionally.

Who is "he?" The doctor? A parent? A son?
What are you rambling about?
