It is hard to deal with death in general. Many times death does not make sense and seems to be unexplainable. Everyone deals with death differently. Some people intellectualize death and tell themselves that there's nothing they can do about it and move on. Others that tend to be more emotional can suffer significant depression. No grieving style is "wrong," as everyone grieves differently.
For elderly, staying active and involved can help cope with death. When they are active, they don't think about death as much and will most likely have a more favorable outlook on the future.
For those dealing with a slow death, when a person is in hospice specifically, I would recommend the book Final Gifts by Callanan and Kelley. It is an amazing tool for families and caregivers.
