I don't think anything could ruin The Body for me. The terrifying and immediate grief Buffy felt was everything. Anyone who's lost a parent or loved one suddenly knows what that feels like. It felt like after all the demons Buffy fought, this was the real monster.

No, it's not always sudden. Sometimes it takes years of illness and you are ready, even hoping for the suffering to end for them, and that's a different experience altogether. But I think what Tara was trying to say is that you're still not prepared for how hollow and lost you will still feel when they finally die after all that, because somewhere along the way you did lose them and you've been grieving all along.

Agreed, it's not about the lenght of the dying process: you almost never can tell with certainty when exactly your loved one is going to die (unless it's something involving pulling out a plug). So it still feels sudden anyway. Maybe less sudden than if they hadn't been dying for some time, but still. And I think the fact that Tara was basing what she said on her own personal experience take out any "smugness" there could have been in her statement (which, imho, IS wise) Can't say I agree with the OP then. Personnaly, I loved the conversation and the new level of closeness it gave to Buffy and Tara's relationship.
