Would You Want To Know A Family Member Is Dying?

So now I am curious as to what you think from the perspective of the survivors. If a family member is dying, would you want them to tell you? Or would you prefer not knowing and not having the last time you have with them overshaddowed by the grim knowledge?

      I'd want to know...my dad was taken from me suddenly and it was hard getting over it.  Both my granddads were taken suddenly and again hard to get over because I felt like I wasn't able to say goodbye.  Both of my grandmothers on the other hand...we knew their time was nearing and we were all able to gather around them and spend time with them before having to let them go.  Though it was tough watching them take that last breath and tough knowing that I'd never get to see them again, at least I got to see them in their last moments of life and they knew I loved them and I would have done anything for them.  That was important to me...for them NOT to be alone in death.

        Yes I would want to know as soon as they were positive there was no hope. I would be so upset if my family were to keep that from me until the last days.

        I would want to know, just one more way to be there for them. No one should have to go through that alone.

        Yes, so you could tell them goodbye and i love you one last time. Bc i rlly sucks not to be able to imagine the last thing you get to say to them is i hate you, and then they die a litttle after, ha it sucks.
