what do people who are sick and dying talk about with the chaplain?

this post by kerry egan tells the whole story rather wonderfully, but in summary 

- mostly about their families

- the love they felt and gave or didn't receive or didn't know how to offer or withheld or never felt

- how they learned what love is, and what it is not

- when actively dying they often reach their hands out to things I cannot see

and concludes that people talk to the chaplain about their families because that is where we create our lives, where we find meaning, where our purpose becomes clear.
