my step uncle who i haven't seen in about 2 years is dying. he has hepitice c and something else i think, he drinks alot too. just visited with him today, yesterday he lost feeling in his arm for about 4 hours. he was saying that there is a surgy that can be done but could leave him parilized, he doesn't want that so he won't have the surgy done. he lives alone with his 9 year old daughter, who is having a very hard time with the sitution. tonight he just kept sayn that his check out time is coming quick, he is really sick just about every day, i have never really been close with him and didn't know how to act about what he was sayn. i'm scared for him and his daughter. its so hard to talk about death, i don't know what to do or say. i have never known anyone so close to the family that has past away, but he said that god told him its time.
this isn't a question but was wondering if anyone might have some advice or anything. thank you.

you know what. maybe it is his time to go, but that is what is to be. there is nothing you can do about it. he may think he could die tomorrow, but he could live another 50 years. i think the best thing you can do for him is have a "talk" with him and ask if he has a will made. if he doesn't encourage him to make one. that way his daughter will be placed in the home he wants her to be. i think that is all you really can do for him and his daughter, that way everything is in place for when he dies.

If you pray for him and since you say he talks to God, maybe pray with him, the right things will just happen. If you want you can pray that he gets better and you can pray that his pain goes away and you can pray for his daughter and other family members. If your uncle truly believes in Jesus God will take care of him. Bless You!

This man is obviously depressed and has no will to live. just be there for his daughter, she is going to need you and as much love and support as she can get.

Oh how sad, I never know what to say, does he have hospice?, maybe you could make it more comfortable for them, maybe read to him, make dinner , maybe buy something nice for the little girl....what a sad sad story....
AND TO YOU JADARDEESH, why don't YOU commit suicide I bet no one would ever miss you, your a real piece of work, a piece of garbage

It is his choice not to have surgery. All you can do is be there support your family, all of them. There is nothing that you can say to help, but you can be there to listen.
