With all due respect, people of the cloth are not the people who care for the dying. They are not the people who sit on the death watch, and witness the long term suffering.

IMO, it isn't all that difficult for people of the cloth to avoid the most painful aspects of death, even in the case of their closest relatives, because they have church/temple ladies to come in and care for their sick and dying relatives, while they attend to their flocks.

Just so you know, it is rarely men who do the caregiving for the dying. It is almost exclusively women, in every culture around the world, who care for the dying.

Good on Bobert, he appears to have been the rare exception.
