E-mail Print PDF
I t appears that really good common sense is the rule when it comes to talking to the terminally ill. Along with that the golden rule applies bigtime. Each person and family has there personal preferences. I would hope that persons who are terminally if able to do so could make some of their wishes know in that regard. I for example , known as a buddhist and a theosophist would not like to be asked if I have made peace with God? Nor would I like someone to say "you need conversion". After all I have already been told by told by a few ingnoramouses that I needed to be converted and asked "don't you want to go to heaven. Well , not heir version of it thank you. I would hope they can tell me I have lost weight finally, that would suit me OK. Gary
