My Dad told me that 9 months ago and he did die He even told me how long he had left. It was very hard to. But we had some long talks. And I spent every minute I could with him sometimes day and night without sleeping.

Do what I have had to do. Spend as much time as you can with the person you love; show your love in every which way that you can; stay close; talk about the fun times shared; the love that you have shared and make sure that you provide for your love after you are gone. At some point, my gf who is very intelligent, asked me :" Is there something that you haven't told me?" Apparently, she noticed the number of drugs that I have to take, and she recognized the Doctors name on the prescription vials in my bathroom. So, I had a quiet dinner with her, In a Public Restaurant, where I knew that she would not become overly emotional, and told her. Oddly enough, we have grown even closer, if that's possible.

I don't know and hope I don't have to find out.
What I know is that my father was never able to tell me. We knew he was dying, and I will never know if he knew we knew... but those words never left his mouth, so we ended up pretending that he was going to be fine.... I ended up leaving him in hospital and going back to the country where I am leaving now, knowing that it was the last time I saw him alive.
Sometimes I wish he had been more honest, as it would have given me the chance to say goodbye properly, but then again, I have said goodbye to his body and his spirit is always with me.
My suggestion would be to be as honest as possible. They are going to find out sooner or later and it would be better coming from the person in question.

Look into hospice care. They have people that are trained and compassionate during this difficult time. They will assist in making someones last days more comfortable. Also they will be there for the family.

What???
First, get out of P&S so you don't get a troll's answer. Second, you need to be out of shock when you do tell them. When you do talk to them, just be straight. There is nothing worse than you having to build up around your story and the agony they will feel if you don't let them know as soon as possible.
God bless you!

There is no easy way to do it. You simply tell them. you might want to have them sit down first and maybe find some quiet place for the announcement.

Well you pick the perfect time to tell them. DOn't tell them when their child got in an accident or his wife cheated on him. Tell him when he/she is happy.

You can either flat out say it, tell them subtlely, or have them find out the hard way.
