My Ex's granddad.
Her Granddad died of a stroke and she took it really hard as they were very close, saw each other everyday etc. In the days up to the funeral his body was kept at the funeral home, where the family had a key and could visit any time they wanted.
She wanted to go visit him but she was VERY upset and really struggled to go into the room. One step at a time for what seemed like ages, shaking like a leaf (it really was hard for her but she stuck it out and I was very proud of her after). Once there she sat with him for a while but a fly had made its way into the room and was hovering about.
This set her off and she wanted it out... cue me chasing the thing around after it. She left the room as she was getting really upset about all this.
Then as if chasing the fly around the room wasn't bad enough the sodding thing landed on her granddads lips. No amount of arm waving would move it so I had pretty much flap my hands over his face to get it, then killed it with a magazine from the waiting area.

I kept my mouth shut and never told her it was crawling over his face. I don't think she could've coped with it.
