Now my in-law is staying in hospice, my wife spends 12 hours everyday
keeping him company.
Usually the residents at the hospice would pass away in a week or less,
but he has  been there for 2 months. He is concious  but no one tells him
where exactly he is staying. He does not know he would die just any
minutes.
I fought really hard with the hospice admin to keep his oxygen supply,
or he would has died long time ago. Anyway, he is old, so it would not
upset us so much.

That's what I'm asking, what else can one say when someone moaning after someone's death?

Cannot say anything just as when my friend told me my other friend's death, all I an do was "Is that real?"

    It's just a common phrase to comfort people for their loss of friend/family. If you have another better phrase in Chinese do let me know.

Ya, I don't know, so I'm asking.   Sorry for quoting you, was just trying to ask a question, not pointing finger at you.

I wish that will be true

if you see this world full of spirits
one spirit goes another comes
spirit manifests itself into forms
according to its nature
you might think you are losing
(a part of you)
when a spirit took off
and you look again
carefully
you will see the same spirit
just right beside you
(maybe not the same name in his/her ID)
but the nature of it
is the same
