[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When people say they said their goodbyes, do they mean that literally? Does the dying person know they’re dying and is it mutually acknowledged? Or do folks just say I love you and show appreciation? With Covid you hear people say they had to say goodbye on FaceTime. Are they saying goodbye or wishing them to get better and saying I love you, even though the person may be dying? [/quote] I think in most cases it's pretty obvious the patient is dying, so loved ones do say goodbyes. There was no point in wishing them to get better. Two days before my mom died (she was in hospice care at home) she asked to facetime with her siblings in her home country. There was very little they said or could say, but she literally said goodbye to them and waved to the screen before signing off. It's closure for all of them. [/quote]
