I have guided patients through that gate many times.My main focus was to talk to them,touch them.Id give them whatever reinforcement their faith dictated,and kept the patient pain free.The absolute calm after the patient takes his last breath can be very comforting if the family is supported.I hope his family can feel that bliss that is the journey from one level of consciousness to snother.
Peace.
