With quotations from other scholars of death, I have composed and I present some quick notes on death as the organizer of life. I hold the idea that death is needed for life to have meaning within this human search for completeness. I turn my eye towards a special situation relating to death: the reaction of individuals who witness and feel the death of one of their elders; people within the family or not who had taken on the task of caring for and being with the elderly person at the imminent end, and who humanely but powerlessly witness the time of solitary departure. A solitary death, but solely and particularly of that elderly person who was being cared for and of that person's natural end, as a human being.
