Compassion would say to let the dying person cope the way they see fit. I do see it as false hope because of the age of the universe which has no capability of caring and no God created all this. But we are still human beings and in that time you simply comfort the dying person and leave your objections out of it. I did the same for my late mother.
I will say what amazed me about my mom, is that her nurses and the aids all said after that when I was out of the room or went home, she'd constantly talk about me and was worried about me. And when I was there she was strong to the end. I have no problem debating a healthy lucid person, but when someone is on their deathbed they are facing their mortality and that is a situation where you simply leave differences behind and be there for them.
