It's best to suffer.

I'm not sure how aquatic Granddad ever was, but we lost him yesterday just the same. We'll miss you, Snad. Here's to that big cigar up in the sky- hope there are cognac fountains and Grammie there waiting for you.

When you lose someone you love, you die too, and you wait around for your body to catch up.
John Scalzi, Old Man's War, 2005

For three days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow but phone calls taper off.
