I have a good friend who is a Catholic.  Her father is terminally ill.  He has very little time left.  I refuse to say anything that would challenge her belief in an afterlife in any way.  And I will wait quite some time after his passing to have any religious discussions with her.  Her belief that she will see him again is pretty much the only thing keeping her going at this point.
