ex. What`s the food like?. when you think about it there is not a lot to say as you keep one eye on the clock! We do love to visit those we care about but it is hard to find something sensible to say! unless of course it is only me .

No disrespect to anyone but my gran was rather deaf so we had to shout at her like "what is that lady in for" she would shout out loud " oh she is a miserable so and so" cringe...............

You have a valid point we do not feel that there are words to express what we feel and it ends up in silence. I have visited in the past two people who where going to die and it is very difficult to put in to words how you feel and what to say.
One was a family member and the other a very close friend and to this day I will never ever forget either.

Bring some good home cooked food that is allowed. If you can, take your friend or family member for a walk, even if it is only just up and down the hall. It is a lot better than rotting away in that bed for days. Bring only cheerful news with you. Be sure and ask about medical care there. Are your person's needs being met? Can you bring a small iPod with music on it? There is plenty to talk about - books you have read, movies you have seen, a bit of friendly non-vicious gossip. If the nurses allow it, take your person down to the cafeteria in late afternoon for a gatorade or a snack.

I usually flirt with the Nurses {{ harmless babbling } This gets my wife hysterical an laughing. Therefore I brought cheer to the patient.

How are you feeling?
When ya gonna get outa here?
How the nurses treating ya?
Above are things I have overheard visitors saying.
The best thing to do is to let them do the talking and be supportive.
Thanks for asking this. It is a very good question.

Hello,how are you?
Now,though he/she is looking sick...i generally avoid the talk about the diseases...i tell them jokes,ask about their favorite music...and so on.....so that they do not realize the pain for a few moments and they get more enthusiastic and happy...

I used to ask my friends whether they wanted a long novel like "War and Peace" or a book of short stories.

Is it catching?
Not just you mate, it's bloody hard, even if you're close with whoever. Try taking a newspaper in to talk about, or just have a goss about the other patients, dunno, I fail miserably at it, meself.
