If your friend seems overwhelmed ask.

What to say if someone has terminal cancer. Im not sure what to say but I want you to know I care. However it sounds wicked but I dont feel anything for him he is a total stranger to me. My estranged Dad we have only spoken twice in 30 years has informed me that he has terminal cancer.

Ill keep you in my thoughts. If you know somebody who has been through cancer you can mention this and offer to introduce them but dont push it. Im here for you.

They might want to talk about things you find hard to hear. If you receive the news that you or a loved one has terminal cancer youll likely go through a range of emotions often within a short period. Im thinking of you.

Its better to offer someone the opportunity to discuss things with you without pushing them to say more if they dont want to. Do tell the person you are thinking of them praying for them keeping them in your thoughts etc. Often the person will want to talk about their illness.

I have enormously appreciated such messages. Hes a painter uncle or co-worker. Do you care about them.

If its a coworker or acquaintance youre reaching out to its okay to. Equally sending love hugs strength courage etc. Respect the other persons feelings.
