Dear Friend:
It is always going to be tough losing one's parents. But it is worse seeing them suffer hopelessly at an advanced age, and being unable to help.
Dropping this mortal coil gracefully is a blessing. There is a beautiful simile in Mrityunjaya Mantra: "Like the ripe cucumber slipping from its stem".
Ashwathama, enraged by the deceitful killing of his father, kills all the progeny of Draupadi. Everyone awaits the curse Draupadi would fling on Ashwathama: "May Death cheat you forever!".
It is said that to this day he wanders hither and thither unable to discard his rotted body.

Humanity's secret longing:
========================
Some love Vanity
Others prefer Sanity
But at heart
...At last
We all value Dignity.
