First do no harm, and never tell a lie. Lying is an insult to the reciever and the giver, gentleness and a warm smile go along ways.
I don't care to be lied to, soooooo....I try to choose words that are true that would not hurt the person. If I know they won't like or will be hurt, I might say," You will not like what I am going to tell you, and I'll try to say it simple and not hurtful." That way they know I tried to avoid hurting them. I despise someone lying to me. I will interpret it the wrong way, as rude and an insult to my intelligence.
Swamp, If the person is dying, at the moment, and I would try to have them stay with me and just talk to them and have them concentrate on staying calm, until someone can help them get to a hospital.
I have never done this nor ever been in this situation. I hope God will guide me if it does.
Suppose you are walking down the street, and someone is hit by a car. You run up and you realize that the person has horrific injuries and will not survive.
The person is weakening fast..."will I be okay?" he asks you...
What is your answer? Remember, they have minutes to live.
