Funerals and memorial services are important to the grieving process. They serve as a time for people who have lost someone close to them to come together and remember their loved ones. These events also provide a time for family members and friends to show their support, love, and care for one another.

When it comes to saying goodbye, most adults find it difficult. You might be scared, and do not want to be too emotional in front of the dying person. It is totally fine to cry and show your emotions. 

Here’s why you have to make time to say goodbye to a loved one who is dying:

Why Saying Goodbye to Someone Who Is Dying is Important

You won’t regret not saying the things you wish you said to them.

It’s easier to put off an uncomfortable conversation than it is to actually have it. However, with a dying family member or friend, it has to happen. A dying person simply wants to know how much you love them and that you will be alright when they are gone. This is also the time to say sorry and that you have forgiven them if they hurt you. 

It’s comforting to console someone who is dying.

Some people are worried to leave the world. They need assurance that you will be okay and the people they care about. Talking about what will happen after their demise can give them peace of mind and comfort. It is also a kind of giving them permission to leave when they are ready.

Know their last wishes.

Take some time to listen to them. You do not have to say or try to stop them from talking. Simply follow their lead and listen. Allow them to express their thoughts and talk about their last wishes. 

Know that you are not alone in the process.

You are not alone in the process. Be with your family and closest friends; when visiting a dying person, you might have the opportunity to meet their friends too. You can connect with them and each other to move on. 

Spend the last moment with them.

The time might be nearing an end, but do not stop yourself from spending those precious moments with a loved one. It is never too late to create happy moments. Know that they will leave the world physically, but they are with you, in your heart, forever!

Easier for you to let go and move on.

Being with them during their last days allows you to accept that they will soon be gone. You have already started the process of grieving. Knowing their last wishes and you, on the other hand, have said the things you would like to tell them, moving on would be a little bit easier.

Saying goodbye to the person so dear to you is the most painful thing to do. However, some people hold on until they are certain that you will be all right. Reassured and give your last gift by releasing them from their pain and all that concerns them. You can tell them “I will be alright. It is okay for you to go.”
