Oof. This. I lost all my grandparents in my mid-twenties. Most were expected and came as a relief to their suffering. My maternal grandmother's was sudden and raw because she fell during the night and passed away with my parents and myself right across the road, with my sister sleeping next door. That's the death I still haven't gotten over, despite the nearly 15 years that have passed. I wish I could talk to her again, ask her advice (even if I don't like it), and just be around her. I wish she could see where I'm at now, because I was a bit late to grow up and adult. I can see benefits of this technology, but I can also see how it could make it more difficult for people to process the loss.
