How to be around someone who’s dying
My husbands grandpa has cancer and the nurse said he will probably pass tonight. I’m so awkward around this because I’m not a hugger and I feel awkward around death. It’s just something that some people feel weird about and I don’t feel like that’s a bad thing. But we are going up in an hour to say goodbye. I’m not sure how it will go. My husband was never close to his grandfather. He was a single guy who was never around until 5 months ago when he needed help. Any tips. I’m scared I don’t want to go over but I know I’m not supposed to go for him but for my husband and family. Advice on how to deal with a death that’s not someone close to you but close to someone you love? Also what do you say? His grandpa does not want to die. He says he’s not ready and won’t talk about death. I don’t really love the man, and I don’t feel like goodbye is good because I think even though I’m sure he knows he’s going, saying it out loud would crush him. We are pregnant with his first great grand child and it wants to live til then. Do I just say love you anyways. Or do you think it’s okay to just have my husband say what needs to be said from both of us? I don’t want to be pressured. I’m not going to regret not saying anything I’ve barely known the guy. But I don’t want to hurt others feelings potentially. Ugh so stressful. I feel so dumb being worried about this. Death is just stressful. But I’m happy he’s going. My mother in law had been his care taker for 5 months and she’s exhausted! You can see how much she cares for him but how drained she is, I think this will be a sweet relief for all.
