Amazingly, I was able to watch it, even though my own mother died this past January, and, as I mentioned in the original post, many of the hospital sequences in the story arc did hit very close to home. I think, though I found it hard, I could watch it, and would watch it again, because it was SO true and SO very well written. I gather that Joss lost a parent (his mother? I'm not sure) and channelled that loss into the writing.
