When my father was critically ill to the point the doctors thought he wouldn't live but a few hours, the hospital chaplain went in to see him. Since my dad had never been a church-goer, it was important to my family to know that He did love the Lord. When the chaplain asked him about this, we were all shocked and surprised that he opened his eyes and said clearly, "My only hope is in the Lord!"
My father lived another six months but the letting go wasn't nearly as difficult since we knew that he was with God. I can't imagine how life would be without that hope in our Lord!
