The truth is that talking about death in our society has always been somewhat taboo. Older people may feel fear when they see that the passage of time is inexorable and that death is approaching. This feeling of fear is very human due to a lack of knowledge about what lies beyond death. If the older person has religious beliefs, these can offer support and comfort. In any case, it's worthwhile to show them that their life has had great meaning for us and to highlight the many positive aspects of a full life that will be remembered. We can also help by making it clear that we will always be by their side and that we will never abandon them. In this sense, we should also make it clear that we will help them have a peaceful final moment, free from pain and suffering.
