Its about the warmest thing you can say to a family member or good friend and it means even more to someone who is dying.

What to say to someone who has a terminal illness. Of course Id be happy to help you out in any way. If youre having a hard time thinking of what to say you might feel like giving up and not sending a card at all. Its difficult to know what to say or do for a friend or family member who has a terminal illness.

You let me know. Its better to offer someone the opportunity to discuss things with you without pushing them to say more if they dont want to. Terminal illness cannot be fixed.

Theres nothing I wouldnt do for you. Generally Id say that avoiding the subject is not good. Cook some food clean the house send cards keep in touch often.

Dont tell someone theyll beat it when its scientifically impossible. In most cases a person with terminal cancer will understand your difficulty in expressing your condolences. If youre talking in person heres what to say when someone is terminally ill.

Just knowing that you were willing to try can be enough to brighten that persons day. I think expressing this is welcome by anyone who is afflicted with any degree of illness or misfortune. They may want to reply but they may have mislaid.

Even if it feels as if youre not doing anything your presence sends an important message. I hear you have an illness in your family Ill be thinking of you all. And if you dont Ill make my best guess.
