It's the difference between sudden BANG unexpected death, and knowing that someone is slowly dying.
We did agree that it was nice to be able to hug loved ones and say goodbye, but that it was a bit selfish, since they had to endure weeks, or months of slow anguish right along side you.
I've been through both on numerous occasions and I still haven't settled on a sensible conclusion.
