[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry. My FIL passed away this summer and my DD-9 visited him once in hospice, basically to say goodbye. Before we talked about the reality of the situation, and also what he looked like now and what the room looked like. If there's things in there that might be scary and if he looks very different from when they saw him last, you'll want to prepare him. You can come up with a list of things to talk about. Maybe bring something (cards, photos, books) so they can give him that. I would keep the first visit short. DD basically started crying the moment she saw her grandpa -- she couldn't hold it together. She stayed only a few minutes. But grandpa was happy to see her, even in those circumstances.[/quote]
