I was never near somebody's deathbed. I am truly sorry for you and your sister. It must be so hard. My grandfather is dying of cancer too and it is so hard to see him in pain. Besides he is very old too. I could not say anything when I went to see him as I just could not stop crying since I realized that we will soon not see him again. I just bent down and kissed him and I hope he understood how much I wanted to say with taht kiss. Maybe you can tell your sister that you love her, that you were so glad she was your sister and that you will never ever forget her. Sometime again you will meet again.

I'm so sorry for your sister and family and what you are going through with her. Since you have told her you love her and she knows it then you could just talk to her about all the good memories and times you 2 shared together in life. Just be there for her. Hold her hand hug her and tell her she will be so missed when she is gone. Do as many things with her now as you can for more memories. Laugh with her lay next to her with your arm around her and just be there for her and hold her. I'm sure you wont have to say much to her as she already know you love her. Again i'm so sorry for what you are going through. Prayers for you and your family.

Thats a tough questions. Id tell them how much I loved the time I had with them, and to rest in peace. What else can you say.

I'd tell her how much joy she brings you and how you'll always be with her no matter what. Maybe talk about the ways she's been for you in the past and how happy that made you. Also if she is religious I might say something to that effect to comfort her. ...I hope she miraculously gets better though

I think that it can be very hard to know the things that you should say to someone when they are in this kind of stage of their life, and I honestly don't think that there is a right way or a wrong way to go about it. You should make sure that she knows that you love her, and that you will remember her always. I think that just making sure that knows that she isn't on her own is a good thing because I imagine that it can get quite scary when you are nearing the end of your life, because of the fact that she knows that she is leaving all of you behind her.

One suggestion probably is to say joyful things. You could say how you feel, how you'll miss her, things like that, but I think it would be better if you say it in a light or even casual manner instead of a very serious or grave way. This is what we did when my friend had cancer. We just talked about fun memories. We just wanted him smiling before he pass away. I know this is not the same as your situation but maybe it might help in some way.

Aside from saying I love you to the person...we have to say "I'm sorry" also....this will ease the burden and the pain that the person has in his heart and mind...

I have not been in that situation. But I guess, one thing that you can tell your sister besides saying I love you is to thank her for the wonderful memories you had together and also not to worry of the things or person that she will be leaving behind.

Thanks a ton for posting this discussion. Well i feel extremely bad for your sister and i would pray Lord that he comes up with some miracle to save her from this dedly cancer. I know how much u love her and i hope that your love and affection for her will definitely work miracle for her recovery. I would also express the same words to the one who is at her last stage so as to show how much i love that person and how much importance he holds in my life.

Hi,
I never been in such a situation. I felt very sad after hearing about your sister. Try to spend more and more time with her and encourage her with the motivating words to face the pains. Hold her hands tightly while paining to support her. Try to keep your face smiling instead of serious face. I know it is very difficult but you have to do it. I pray God for painless life for your sister.

Sorry about your sister, you must be sad about her. Just show more concern about her and accompany her as much as you can. I think she can feel your love by your action. You don't need to say too much.
