My sister-in-law does a similar job and always finds these times difficult. She always says that if you're caring for someone who's that dependant on you you can't help a degree of attachment. Anyone who disagrees is lying, or has no heart.
Telling someone what they need/want to hear at a time like that is one of the most caring things you can do. I wonder if his fixation may not be the result of his religious convictions, but possibly because of the illness and medication?
Would I tell him what he wanted to hear? Yes.

serious, would you?
Firstly, cap off to you for doing an extremely demanding job.
Secondly, if it gives comfort and peace to someone in that situation-whats the harm?
I have on a number of occasssions spoken to relatives that are struggling to cope with the death of a loved one and who find comfort in reassurance that they didnt suffer, or feel a thing as it happened so quickly, or as in this case that there is an after life that he will be welcomed into by someone he holds dear.!
So what the hell!,fill your boots whips and lie your socks off.!

This is a situation I find myself in all too often. All of my patients are terminal, most are end stage and the number of deaths I have witnessed over the past 4 1/2 years must now run into almost the hundreds.
This type of situation has arisen a couple of times over the years and you have to do or say what you think is right for that one person. During the time you spend with that patient, you get to know the best way to react to them.
If you tell him she'll be waiting for him and he dies a happy man, where's the harm? If there isn't an afterlife it's not going to matter if you were wrong. If there IS then he'll be happy on the other side regardless of who is waiting there to greet him.
Your responsibilities are to that man NOW and easing his troubled mind as best you can is one of them. It's a hard job, not just physically but also emotionally and mentally and these things can stay with you for a long time. I don't think you have anything to feel guilty about Whips

I think that what you have done is one of the most touching and compassionate things I have heard for a very long time.
It takes a very special person to do what you have done and I dont think you should spend a second more of your time beating yourself up over it.
If it were my family member I would hope that they would be treated with the dignity and compassion for a fellow human being that you have shown.

I myself believe in nothing. If I pass over, and find a god I hope he/she does not keep me out of heaven just because I do not go to church.
What happens after death is a matter of belief. So if you talk in terms of the mans beliefs who is to say you are wrong.
I think you have done nothing wrong. Nothing to be ashamed of.
