family 
Last weekend my grandad passed away. He was ill for quite some time suffering a form of dementia. When that started it was hard for him to recognize me and also he lost the sense of time, as he 'lived' within the past asking about people, who have been gone long time ago.
Due to his condition and the expectance, that this day won't be far away, I am not that sad. Other deaths in my family had a much stronger impact, as I always felt left, not having the chance to tell some final words, no chance to say good-bye.
