Get close to the lord and ask him if he is going to take them not to let them suffer and also ask for inner strenght in your time of turmoil and sorrow.

There are not guarantees to life at all. Any of the people you care about could be gone tomorrow. However, knowing that someone you love is going to die (terminal illness) is really tough. Take one day at a time. Enjoy the moments you have. Make sure you have an opportunity to say what you think needs to be said - and do it now. Allow your family member the same opportunity. Don't forget to say "I love you" at every chance. Pray for strength - you will get it.

It is hard to say everyone deals with death in different ways. It also depends on how close you are. Is it a mother father grandparent friend etc; I would definately clear up any bad feelings there may be. Give or get forgiveness if needed. Say your good byes before it is too late. Always remember no matter what that you have got to go on with life. You should mourn. Just try not to let it take over. if that makes since. If you ever feel like you can not deal with it just talk to someone close to you about how you feel

Do not live with the regret that you wished you had told someone you loved them .Regret is like a cancer .You must accept that everyone in your life will die some day.If you are talking about someone in particular then you have an opportunity to spend time with that person and comfort and support each other.Sometimes your can comfort a sick person by just caring enough to be there.You do not need to fill every minute with empty conversation.

The thing to remember is that anyone could die any day now. I might die in a car crash going home tonight. Keeping that in mind, you deal with it by treating everyone you care about the way you should. Be sure that if they do die tomorrow, you can feel good about the time you spent with them, and if you die tomorrow, you won't die wishing you had lived differently.

It's an awful situation to have to think about and I'm sorry if you're in that position. I guess what's important is that you have no regrets once the person has passed away, so spend time with them if possible, say whatever you need to say and then I guess what you are faced with is going through the grief process, which has probably already started. It's really important to do what you need to do, as long as it's helpful for yourself and isn't hurtful for the person who is dying. I hope you have lots of support and love as you go through this journey.

We are all terminal from the time we are born , its just in the scheme of things that we will all die someday . Just make sure to take the time to let this person know that you care about them , if this person is suffering and in pain it can be the best thing for it to happen , There are support groups too .

We dealt with my mom's illness by being with her as much as possible along with other close family members. Try to think of it as passing on to new and better place, not as an end. Remember that the person you are losing will always be a part of your life...just touch your heart, and that's where they will always be. God Bless....

Spend most of your time with her/him. Give her the best of time left on her life here. What's important now is her time, with you and the other members of the family that are close to her . it is your last chance to be with her.
You can deal with your loss later when she's gone.
You are lucky that you know that she's dying, like a warning. My father died suddenly (we din't know that he was sick. he hid it from us) while we are sleeping so no goodbyes.

Anyone could die at a moments notice. Long life isn't promised to anyone. So try to enjoy every second of your life and every one you care about.

you have to get closure........ the truth is that any day one of your family members could die in a car crash... but you need to say everything you can say to them and hear everything you want to hear........... and spend all your time with them.. you donj't want to have any regrets just know that you've had a full life with them and that you love eachother and you'll always have the meories
