It must be so hard to summarise what your feeling.

What do you say to someone with a terminal diagnosis. How can I help my loved one cope with a terminal illness. Cook some food clean the house send cards keep in touch often. Acknowledge what has been said.

What do you say to someone diagnosed with terminal cancer. And its not necessary to say a lot. Ask the other person what they think or how they feel.

A person with a terminal diagnosis and those caring for them will naturally need a lot of support. Combing or brushing peoples hair moisturizing their hands and arms or feet or gently rubbing their back will help reassure them and help them relax. One of the most meaningful things you can say to someone at the end of their life is Thank you As youre writing the letter reflect back on your relationship with this person.

Choose your words carefully. Im sorry to hear what you are going through. Listen to what the person has to say without judgment and make sure the individual knows that youll always be there no matter what.

Use caution when asking questions. Everyone wishes the circumstances were otherwise. Then write a sincere thank-you to your recipient for making your life a better one.

It might be different to what you thought. Anxiety about saying the wrong thing may encourage you to say nothing which can feel disappointing. Say thank you.
