I would try to stay positive. If they have the will to survive, enjoy them while they are still alive. Grieve and weep if the unthinkable happens and they actually pass. Make their last moments positive.

I think in any good relationship there should be a freedom to share emotions. My husband is going through cancer too and sometimes it's obvious to him that I'm depressed about it and I don't like it but I also let him know I pray a lot for him and it bothers me when he's in pain or has to go through surgery and chemo. The first time back in 1986 I determined that I wasn't going to sit by his bedside and cry because we were going to get through it and we did. Since then just less than 5 years ago he had a brain tumour removed - he recovered, went back to work and then in 2004 he was diagnosed the cancer he had in 1986 again. He's determined to fight as long as he can, he's not on his deathbed but sometimes it's hard to stay upbeat. Finding humour in everyday things helps a lot and just talking things out.

Yes! I was diagnosed with a life threatening illness 10 years ago. I was told to go home and get my affairs together. Obviously I didn't die...but I hated that people ran the other way and wouldn't talk with me or express their feelings. I can tell you, I felt better when people felt they could talk, cry, rant and rave about what was going on! Just do one thing...no one has a tag hanging on their toe saying I'm dying on any certain day...I'm living proof...there are allot of folks out there that feel the same...I remember the days of setting in chemotherapy...People want to talk about what is happening...they also want positive hope...that's what living is all about...HOPE...never believe that there can't be a miracle, or a cure tomorrow...none of us know the future...Cry...scream...yell...give Hope...Maybe it's only for one more day...one more sunset....but Hope makes the time we have left worth living...Godspeed to you and your loved one!

Of course. It will help them understand how much you care. And don't discount hope. "It ain't over till it's over". I have seen God do some pretty amazing things that everyone, including doctors, said were impossible. Nothing is impossible to God. But sometimes only He knows His will. Have you prayed for your loved one?

Of course you can, it will allow you to express to the person how much you love them and how much you will miss them. They can also comfort you and let you know that they and you will be fine in the future. Don't be afraid to show them your emotions.

I wouldn't. That hope is getting them through the day!

i wouldn't, because then they have to spend time trying to make you feel better instead of focusing on getting better and plus they know that you think the situation is hopeless. remember there are miracles everyday, and no situation is ever truly hopeless.

Yes. Absolutely. I cried in front of my husband when he was on his death bed from cancer. It is okay to cry. Please do.

Please if you can't hold your tears, please try to smile and explain to your beloved one that you are sad because of his/her situation, but hoping on a soon recovery
