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..?

I watched my Dad deteriorate right in front of me for years before he died. The day before he died I was there with him. He was barely there .
