Family and friends should be mentally prepared then, especially if the deceased had a good innings.

Mentally or emotionally? A previous neighbour of mine lost her husband recently - he was very will in pancreatic cancer and she soon became aware of the inevitable development but is now devastated. He was her life companion, the father of their children - how the hell can you be rational in that moment?
