It is often true that a person will say that, and be right about it. It's never easy, but it can sometimes be eased. I couldn't find the right words today, so I just walked in with a box of tissues, and sat down and cried with her, for her loss.:hug:
visited a loved one in the hospital once. Nurse pulled us aside when we arrived for visiting hours. "loved one has expressed that he thinks he is about to die, and when they say that they are usually right. Please take this day to make sure that everyone gets to say their goodbyes"
Spent the entire day with loved one, had a good visit. Visiting hours ended, loved one died in his sleep two hours later.
Nurse was an Angel from heaven that day.
She smiled through her wet face, and I dried off my wet face, exited to the right-- And then I got back to my job while planning for death.
Thank you.
