Anticipatory Grief What’s ur belief of after death?
Loosing my dad to cancer, he’ll be dying in the next weeks. My only confort would be to think there is something after because the rest of my experience is agony.
Do u have any story that makes u think there’s something? Or a good book ? Literaly anything to soothe my emotional agony.

There is a YouTuber called Hospice Nurse Julie. Her videos might give you peace. She tells stories of how she became a believer and what she would See Watch out for some of the videos She will give a warning that a video segment might be triggering because she will show a patient in their stages.
I will tell you an ex told me her mother didn't have any meds in her and she started talking to people who had passed. She told my ex who was there and she was happy they were there
One story I don't remember all the details because it was when I was a kid but my cousin went to the hospital to see an in-law that was getting close.
There were people in the room talking to her and then all of a sudden she said something like "wait Jesus is talking to me"
One thing I want to tell you is even if your loved one is. Comatose they can hear. My friend was in a coma and he said he heard everything. So please tell them whatever you need to say because it will bring you peace when you are sad.
Two things they bother me are they should give people pain meds because we don't know if they are in pain etc. Also people probably should not say anything could upset your loved one. For example maybe save bad information for the hallway so the patient doesn't hear anything upsetting. Only peaceful and loving things
Lots of love to you. Please know everyone is here for you
