HOW DO 1 TALK TO THE DYING?
Listen first; talk last.
Most terminally ill people want, to be heard. They have fears about
death. They have things to say and feelings to express.
You can't possibly reassure them that "everything will be fine," but
you con. be compassionate and understanding.
Listen for an opening line like "They're testing me for again. Why
do they bother?" That is an indication of feelings and you can start
a beneficial tide of emotional outpouring by responding to the cue:
"Do you get worried about what's happening to you - do you wont to
talk about it?"
Do not be surprised at the frankness with which terminally ill people
may discuss their situation, or the deterrnination with which they may
pursue the conversation once you have conveyed your willingness to
listen.
Many hospitals have volunteer programs involving assistance to the
terminally ill and the aged in their care. Coll us or your local hospital
for more information.

CHRISTMAS
By Hayley Hartford

Christmas time is full of cheer
And it only happens once a year.
Jesse likes to rip his presents,
Mom likes to open them pleasant,
I go to look in nay sock,
While Jesse tries to race the clock,
On, Christmas is a beautiful thing,
Love and happiness it will bring.
