I have been working as a Hospice Chaplain for a short time that has effected me a great deal. I do not think you can work with the dying and not be think about your own death. So I am stuck thinking about what would be a good goodbye for me? Let me explain what I mean...
As I am percent with people who are dying I do a lot of talking about what is a good goodbye. Very simply a good goodbye is when a person is able to say four things; Forgive me, I forgive you, Thank you, and I love you. The goodbye is said to everyone and to no one at the same time.
What do you think of this idea of a good goodbye?
What would be a good goodbye to you?

I like your idea of a good goodbye. It makes me a little sad thinking about saying goodbye.
It may sound a little trite, but "forgive me, I forgive you, thank you and I love you" seems like a good way to live your life all the time. Then the goodbye doesn't even have to be spoken.
