My Grandfather passed away on September 28th of 2009 with his family at his side. He lived only a short time after he was diagnosed with a vicious form of cancer that ripped through his body. Leaving his wife of 61 years behind was the hardest part of this ordeal. I was lucky enough to spend a few days alone with him after his diagnosis. His only fear, or the only thing he was concerned about, was leaving my Grandma behind.
