My uncle passed away tonight. I got a call at 10pm from my aunt asking me if I could come over because uncle wasn't doing too well. She asked if I could help get him to the hospital. I rushed over, but his condition had gotten worse, so we decided to call 911. The fire department, sheriff officers, and medical team arrived in about 5 minutes and tried to resuscitate him but he was gone. He passed away from pancreatic cancer stage 4 which had spread to his liver and kidneys.
RIP Uncle.
This was the first time in my life I saw someone die in front of my eyes, and to say the least it's a traumatic experience. You really can't describe it in words, nor will anyone unfamiliar with this experience understand the emotions that someone goes through in this situation. After the shock is gone though, the dead body appears to be someone sleeping. I can sorta understand now why soldiers go into PTSD.
