user151: What advice did the Buddha give to laypeople or monastics about taking care of a dying loved one or anyone dying in their deathbed?

user21201: First of all, good householder, it's important to take care of yourself, meaning staying within the frames of references.
Second, may good householder gain firm faith into the first Noble truth, and then firm investigate of what else the fear of losing beloved form, sound, smell, taste, touch and giving of thoughts could be.
Once good householder is clear about this first three points it would be good to establish the beloved in Dhamma and faith into the Gems.
If already a follower, or once gained, there are some suttas on how to approach a fellow, either lay or monastic: Advice for sick uninstructed lay people by instructed lay people
In all cases, it any possibility, inviting wise Monks, encourage beloved to make merits and let the Venerable(s) teach the Dhamma for all of you. An hour, a day, 10 days, again and again..
May good householder have the effort to cancel all other useless stuff and spend the whole time in paying gratitude and being generous at one of the right times. Much success toward the Deathless for all of you and your's.
