As a Nurse, I can understand what you mean, and you're right, it isn't really funny, but we do it anyway. I think it's because, on some level, everyone has an issue with death. Some are scared, some seem indifferent, and others say they don't care, but I think deep down the question of what's coming next gets to everyone. Especially when you are so close to it like in the medical field.
Personally, I see death as just the next step. Don't get me wrong, it scares me for sure, because what if I'm wrong? I have my faith, but there's no guarantee that what I have faith in is so. This being said, I believe it is merely the death of the vehicle that our soul has spent traveling in for however long we were blessed to travel in it. I don't believe the soul dies at all. Maybe the energy gets re-arranged a bit, but I think we go on in spirit form. At least this is what my faith tells me. Life is so much more than physical. I do not believe that this is all there is. I think it's a learning process and being human is just one lesson in the lesson plan.
I don't know if this helps any or not. I hope it does. I do like the idea of speaking with your hospice coordinator. I think that's a good idea. They may be able to offer you other ways of seeing things.
Hold on to your humor though, although dark sometimes, it is a healthy way of coping socially with a difficult stage of life.
