What to tell someone who is about to Die?

7 posts in this topic

My uncle is about to die, he has spiritual education Deepak level, so for the last few weeks of his life hes going to be contemplating death.

Im going to see him soon and likely go into a conversation about spirituality.

I figured id explain to him that hes already immortal and so on. But im inexperienced with dealling with people who are about to die and id like to be prepared for this talk.

What do you guys recommend?

How is this post just me acting out my ego in the usual ways? Is this post just me venting and justifying my selfishness? Are the things you are posting in alignment with principles of higher consciousness and higher stages of ego development? Are you acting in a mature or immature way? Are you being selfish or selfless in your communication? Are you acting like a monkey or like a God-like being?

Do you have direct insight about death or only theory?

Is your uncle open to psychedelics?

I told my grandma I don't think we die and that was good enough. Said thank you for being my grandma.

Don't ask people such questions on the internet, go there, be with him, hold nothing back, express yourself honestly. 


I am but a reflection... a mirror... of you... of me... in a cosmic dance ~ of a unified mystery...

Sorry to hear man. Wish you well. 

Whatever you gonna tell him just tell him good things that will help him feel peace and surrender instead of fear and existential dread .

So much so that you aren't childishly sitting around wishing it were otherwise.If you were confined to a wheelchair you would just accept it as how reality is. Just as you now just accept that you are not a bird who can fly."

ive had the most weird experiences w/ ppl dying, which could be relieving to hear since it contrasts from these like, dark hospital things (or so it is for me, as my hospital stays have been hellish), as my second hand deaths are soo unusual and funny in a weird sense of it. first my grandfather dies, out of the blue while sitting on the toilet. He was technically sortve *on his way out*, but he wasnt like, hospital-ready or anything, he just had bad lungs or somethin (i was like 5). Okay then theres my grandfather on my dads side, the week he died he had thrown a party, right outback of my house/or where i was staying—almost like him and all his work friends were on some inside joke, and me being significantly younger, wasnt gonna understand. But i went outback to the restaurant, said hi... aand.. Dead next week. My grandmom died not too long after. We had been living with her, taking care of her at her house. She hallucinated like crazy for the last 6 months prior, so like... That was a very different exp that i saw from her vs everyone else who passed. Point being, ive never seen someone die the same way twice, and it rarely involved hospitals or pain, it was just flat out weird. yous may be relieved to know for now this sortve thing—that its just weird from my second hand perspective. so thats something you could say. Everyone dies and its always weird, and no one even understands, so its like a surprise.
