Coming to know that you are dying is a very scary and painful experience.
Nobody wants to let go of their life and loved ones and the possibility of separation is very hurting.
When you have ageing and dying parents at home you should actually talk to them about their condition and ease them out of their pain.
It is a very tough subject to broach and if it is tough for you, then it might be killing for the person who is dying.
What hurts more for a dying person is the knowledge that their loved ones will grieve and go through pain after they die.
Be very sensitive when you talk to your parent and hold their hand while you talk.
Convey that you love them very deeply and their loss would be felt every single day.
Also, let them speak their mind and be good to them by listening and acknowledging everything they have to say.
Your parent may not always be willing to talk about their death and may feel uncomfortable, however leave them alone at that time and talk about some pleasant things just to make them feel better and show respect.
However, do bring about the topic at a better time and when your parent is more willing to talk and is also comfortable doing it.
It is bad for a person to die with a heavy heart and it is only bothering them in their final living moments.
Instead they can choose to let go of their feelings by sharing it with a loved one and also close their eyes amongst love and peace.
