[quote=Anonymous]I'm an ICU nurse, and I've found that most dying patients want to talk honestly and face the reality of their situation. So I agree with the other posters-- honestly tell him you love him and thank him for being a part of your life, and ask him if there is anything you can do for him. It's totally ok to cry, but not to the extent that makes him feel like he needs to comfort *you*. My daughter has handled the death of her great grandma and great aunt just fine. I cried at both and explained that it is ok to be sad. She was quite sad about the death of my grandmother, but we talked about it and still talk about her now 4 years later. It's all happy memories now (my grandma was very quirky/funny). Good luck and I'm sorry for your loss. [/quote]
