Death and dying are part of life.

It is very sad but this is something that is bound to happen to all of us; just that some are luckier to have their loved ones for a longer period while the others are not so fortunate. As long as we have nothing to regret for the time which we have spent together with them, the best thing we can do is to learn to accept reality and learn to cope with the situation when things happen.
I personally think Reincarnation in Buddhism is very consoling to depart with our love ones- we will meet again in our next life. It sounds good, isn't it?

Honey, take a tape recorder with you and record the memories he has. I really wish I had recorded my dad and granddads. There are things that you will forget that you can get on tape.
But most of all, just go sit and visit with him about life and the happier parts of it. A lot of us have been there and done that. No, it never gets to hurt less, but with time we come to accept it better.

By sitting at his bedside and talking with him about happy memories. You will never regret spending time with him at this stage in his illness. The is always a possibility he will get better - you have to keep praying and hoping and trust in the doctors who are caring for him. Talking with him is the best way to deal with this. Talking to your family away from his bedside is when you need to cry if need be, not at his bedside.

I sat and watched my father waste away for three years, heartbroken and dismayed, I was going to be the elder and alone.
I listened to him fight WW2 over and, over as his fever wrecked his body with cancer, in three places and other problems.
He would be luced one day and, we'd talk, he loved me and, I loved him, very much.
It seems like all the ill intentions each had for the other left, it was a time for peace, a time for God.
He'll be going into the eternity by himself, with what he brought with him, but, God will be by his side. Stay with him, he's lucky to have you with him, God Blass you.
