I allow any comfort that I might offer to stem from the belief system that the person in front of me has. To take that away from somebody exspecialy in a moment of pain would just add to the suffering that is already present. Being mindful and supportive in the moment and settleing my own mind is often the best option.

Yes, I agree. I haven't yet discussed any of my research with client's and family.
Most of the families I see are Christian, generally not attending a Church regularly or anything like that and as I know belief systems rarely offer much understanding about the big issues - other than Buddhism, I have found, which ( of course ) encourages us not to form a rigid belief system for the very reason that it isn't helpful.
