Have you ever witness a person dying?

My uncle just passed away an hour ago. We are sure we'll all miss him. He is a nice person. Though many times he is misunderstood. I was a witness to his last minute in this world. I saw him fade away...gasping...in total agony. He died because of kidney failure. His body can no longer bear the hardships of daily dialysis. We are saddened by his death but in away...we are also happy that he already at peace and that his pain and suffering has ended. I have witnessed the passing of my grandmother..but her's was different, it was very quite... very peaceful death. But in the case of my uncle...it was hard....he was in pain until his last breath. It was a terrible sight, seeing a person struggle and fight for his last breath. We have accepted long ago that he was dying, but we were not prepared to see such a painful death. I was like wishing and praying for God to just take him and relieve him from his pain. If death is always like this, oh God, I do not want to see another one again. Have you ever witness a person dying? How did you feel about it?
