My grandfather finally died last year at 97. Yes, I said "finally". He was miserable for years and just wanted to go. He had never expected to outlive my grandmother. And after being together for 60 years she was gone and he was left behind. He hated his pace-maker. He felt (correctly) that it was the only thing preventing him from dying peacefully in his sleep like he wanted to. He would make me swear that I'd never get one. That's a promise I will keep.
