People who are dying are morning- the loss of their future, their sense of purpose and their
relationships. “They experience an extreme sense of loss and aloneness,” says Leanne
Skipsey, an expert in Death Literacy, who runs discussion groups for people to meet and talk
about dying and death. The dying person is integrating a whirlpool of emotions: you can
offer support simply by being present and listening. If the person has a long illness, they
may move from feelings of hope for a recovery through to acceptance. The best approach is
to be open, honest and authentic. Skipsey says. “Sometimes the dying person is the only one
who’s honest about the fact they are dying, and everyone else isn’t ready to come to that
realization. It’s really refreshing for a person who is dying to have people around who are
able to be real with them.”
