Alright so my best friend just told me that her dad has cancer and was given 1 month to 4 months to live. Her dad is pretty much my second dad. I have no idea what to say. So my question is what should i tell her? Can you pray for this situation?
Also I would appreciate prayer for a guy in my class, his dad just passed away yesterday from cancer. He had been in a coma. And the family is taking it hard.
Alot is going on but if you would pray for these, and help me figure out what to say to my best freind. I would appreciate it ever so much.

Go to www.Godsminute.com and ask them to pray, I will pray for you as well, and will tell the people I know to pray. Just be by your friends side. You don't have to say anything, actions speak louder than words. God bless you.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. My dad had cancer 3 years ago. I would be happy to include your friends in my prayers. I can't give you anything specific to say to your best friend. Just make sure you are always there for her, no matter what. Drop everything you're doing if she needs you. That's the best thing you can do. I hope (and pray) that things get better, and perhaps for a miracle.

Prayer is very helpful. Nothing much can be said over the loss of a loved one. It takes a good year for the reality to set in. Just be there and lend a shoulder and sympathize. Will be praying.

I can't tell you what to do, but I'll tell you this. I'm 60, and five years ago I had surgery for a cancer which has ended the life of other men prematurely. I've wondered if knowing one has a fatal disease is more merciful than having your fire snuffed without warning. What would you do if you knew your life was going to end in a finite number of days? Your friend's father knows this too. God bless you and your friends.

I'm really sorry you're going through so much bad stuff in your life right now! I'll for sure pray for you. As for your friend, if I were you, I would just let her know that you're there for her if she needs anything at all. tell her you know how she must be feeling because you're really close with her dad too, and tell her to enjoy whatever time she has left with her dad. God bless!

I will pray for these people.
As far as your friend is concern, you may not have to say anything. Your just being there is what counts, but you can tell her you're praying for her. If she needs to talk, she will say. having a shoulder to cry on is very important. You may need to think about your own feelings too in this situation.

God made us to live and die, you could say just like flowers. Every so often He takes a special one into His house to particularly enjoy.
It is not easy to let go of those we love. They should grieve for their loss, but remember that it is their loss, not the one who died's loss. If we believe we have a spiritual, as well as physical life, we should rejoice that the spirit is no longer held back by physical considerations. As far as those of us who are still in this plain of existence, as long as we remember the deceased, he or she will live on.

Oh, honey, I'm so sorry.
I think the best thing you can do is just tell your best friend that you love her very much and that you will be there with her every step of the way.
You and your friends and family will be in my prayers.
Hang in there.
