If you sat by someone's hospice bedside....

Did you talk about an afterlife, Heaven or where they're going?

I have not brought it up even though my dad is religious. Anytime we have brought up the cancer that's afflicting him he's gotten irritated. But, I want to say somehow to him while he's alive that he'll always be here . That he's not truly leaving. But I don't want to cause anxiety either.

I've talked memories, his positive times, and that we love him, so he's had calming moments . But I'm not sure if it's ok to bring up how he'll not be fully going , to us. I did say we will always be with each other, the other day. Perhaps I can say that again..?

Talk about whatever you have to say, have no regrets..if he becomes agitated of course you can stop, hold his hand, be there for him as you are.

Sorry you are going through this oh so hard time
