But I have been with the people I've loved the most in their passing.
I was breathing with my mother as she was dying and saw that last breath.
and saw her look at my father when he walked in, and their eyes met.
You know, I've been a witness to death.
I was with my brother, as was our family.
My brother's death by suicide, you know, we watched and participated in his cremation.
even the grinding of his bones and feeling the last heat of his life.
And I remember as Mr. Rabe, who...
oversaw the cremation when he poured the bone and ash into this box and we weighed it.
It was eight pound four ounces, the same weight that my brother's birth weight was.
And I was with my grandparents when they died.
And holding Mimi's hand as she was dying, she looked like Socrates.
She had cancer.
She had no hair.
But I looked at her and I said, Mimi, you look like Socrates.
And she just smiled.
And then she looked up and she said, oh.
Oh, can't you show Terry?
She would be so excited.
I don't know what she was seeing.
