If he is able to speak at all, you could gradually sit and hold his hand, and when no one else is around, ask him how he is doing, and guide him gently toward open ended conversations about his experience. He will let you know, if you just give him the sacred space (simply a space filled with your love for him) in which to do it. If he can not speak, he will definitely hear your words, either whispered to him, or spoken silently from within your own heart to his. Dear sanatani ~ when you read my posts you will see we are in agreement on these matters, but your experience in working with hospice and your empathy gave you the grace to say what I tried to say ... differently, beautifully ... and the concept that one can create a sacred space just by one's presence and intention is true and beautiful. If only we could all remember this when our little boats are buffeted about by the waves. You are a blessing to the group, and I'm so glad you're the new prayer list coordinator.
