Alffe always knows what to say!

I think that's probably the kindest most appropriate thing anyone could say to someone they love and will miss. "Thank you" for being in my life and allowing me to be in yours.

Sometimes talking of memories - funny ones or even sad ones
- kind of continues the bond that is already there.

If it were me I think I'd like to hear of good times and good memories.

I would say: I love you and always will... see you soon

Hugs for you.

yes, thank you....

you've 'reinforced' what my heart was struggling with....

Just being simple.....
I guess smiling thru tearfilled eyes pretty much says it all.

I will do just that.
I 'knew' I could count on you all. You never cease to amaze me.....

BlueMajo yes, I like that.....'see you soon'

Thank you all
Rae

say all that you feel! It is hard to lose someone but sometimes having time to know you can say something it wonderful.

from experience.... also give a BIG BIG BIG HUGGGGG saying thanks or love you... or again whatever you feel..... do not hold back

my sister died from Cancer... and about a week before I got to run down and stay there overnt with two of the kids... the one night.. she said she was tired and wanted to lie down early... I said go for it.. asked her if I could lay down with her.... those 20 minutes or so.. will always be in my heart.... I shared lots of feelings... and that I will be honored when she is at peace that she will be in Heaven with my baby Sabrina( I lost a baby full term 12 years ago)... she said her and her hubby had talked about Sabrina just few days before our talk.

hard to say those things sometimes... but she knew she was dying and I knew... share share... hugss,sarah

How sweet is that!

....pillow talk......


absolutely. THAT is exactly what i would want. I would love for my loved ones to just be 'ok' with it....be calm....talk about the 'good days'......talk about the wonderful new hope that exists for all of us.....like you said....
a 'reuniting' with others who have gone before us......your (((baby))).....yes
...and no more pain.

How touching
thank you l

Rae I am sorry to find the loss of brother is in your pocket. It is in my pocket too. and as you know... I just recently found my very close long time school friend is terminal. Thanks for starting this thread.
we have been talking allot lately about old times, times we were not in contact so much ... we talk about worries or wonder what it will be like. ending life in dignity . talk about how things are never fair .
sometimes I have dreams . I told her of a recent dream . and she said I made her cry. Now I feel bad. the dreams did not make me feel like crying. it made me feel comfort and connected .It was like I got to spend a very awesome time, with a sister I havent seen in a long time. ... that is what I told her too.
WAS THAT WRONG? insenitive ?? I didnt even think it would make her cry.
I youtube her songs I am sending her some wine. we are trading must read book suggestions. and plan to go visit her very soon. So what do you say to a dying person??????????
What do you say to a dying person who dose not want but a very few knowing they are dying ??
