Yes, I've been with quite a few people as they DIE. I've also helped revive people back from the dead.

I could never do it, I don't think. I had to valet at a children's hospital one summer and it caused me to get really depressed and anxious being around illness constantly like that.

Bravo for those that do.

It must be quite an experience

Except for accidents (which I presume is not the kind of death you see), when people in their deathbed pass away it's just like they went to sleep. Reanimation, on the other hand, is the best rude awakening most people will ever have

I'm willing to bet seeing kids die sucks way more than seeing old people stop functioning

Don't disrupt Lira's Hollywood style death scene dreams!

Well, when I saw my godmother die I was by her side and she pretty much just stopped breathing. It was quite peaceful, really, and that's why I said that. It wasn't unlike someone going to sleep, except she didn't snore. No gasps, no last words, no nothing. Had my mother not yelled in despair the moment she noticed it, I can't say I would have noticed.

So, no, Nou, I'm not talking based on Hollywood dramas

Some people die naturally of violent cardiac arrest on their deathbed...

Yes a lot of deathbed deaths are "peaceful" but some can be rather gruesome.

Meh, that's like going to sleep after one too many tacos

Still, I'm sure no one literally loses their head in a hospital bed, unlike what paramedics may find in a car pile-up

Or combat medic... probably why VAR was so odd.
