What would you say to your best friend if he is dying?

that would be a most disheartening and emotional moment and i hope it wont ever happen. it would definately depend on the situation. if my best friend was dying in the hospital because of an infection for example, i would shed my tears and hold their hand and just look into their eyes. nothing needs to be said, just an i love you because in that situation it would make sense. but if he just got shot or something i would be heated and screaming nooooo noooooo! and i would avenge their death by killin whoever did it.

Best Answer!\n\nCome on say it with me.. "I LOVE YOU" see now that was not so hard. \nThe best thing to do when you get tongue tied is imagine the person is soon to die and saying I love you will heal them from death. You would have no problem saying it then, now would you?\nDo not let a day go by without saying I love you to those you honestly love - never know if you will get another opportunity!

If you were on your deathbed and could speak? I would you say, "I am a sinner, Save me Lord Jesus."\n\n\n\nmortgageg, That's funny.   :)

hermit crab: shut up. She explained herself, now leave her alone. She obviously doens't need your help.\n\nKay: I need you to contact me and tell me what you know about your husband's death. I need date, time, location, etc. Let me know what is going on with you and the kids too. I look forward to your contact.

How good of you, Jason, to ask such a considerate question. If you knew the deceased well (and, for example, he loved sunsets), you might mention the sunset tonight was made especially beautiful for (name of deceased), and he had the best view from heaven. I think Robert said it best, depending on how well you knew the person. Also, "I'm sorry for your loss. \n\nPlease let me know if there's anything I can do to help." is always appropriate. Depending on how close you are to the grieving person, a gentle touch on the arm, shoulder or a gentle hug is usually welcome. Your heart will guide you.\n\nThe comment, "it will get easier with time" I think is not appropriate, not sympathetic, and will sound heartless to the grieving person. Older people seem to say that sometime; it's not out of cruely; they just don't know what to say.\n\nwanabelong.com had this to say:\n\nBut what do you say to the family? What can be said, other than, “I don’t know what to say?” and “I’ll keep you in my prayers.”  Sometimes it better to say less than more, or to just be there, with a hug and a cup of tea. Why is it we are uncomfortable with death, when it’s probably the only thing we all can guarantee will happen to us in our lives?\n\nOur awkwardness often leads to saying stupid things trying to fill the space of our discomfort with empty statements that still leave us feeling stupid.  When the person grieving does not hear, their hearts breaking with the grief, their energy taken in a journey to revisit every laugh, every argument, every memory, and the words often lost in a sea of internal thoughts.  \n\nThe most profound thing someone can do for another person when someone dies is to listen, to hold them, to just be there, to give comfort and to resist having to have something to say. \n\nYou'll help a lot of people with your question, Jason.\n\nPeace.

"I heard of your loss, and I just wanted to offer you and your family my sincerest condolences in your time of grief." \n\nThen just drop it. He may respond, he may not. But your kindness will be noted.\n\nGood luck.

With compassion.  Your friend probably needs you more now than ever before.  It will be difficult, as it is with anyone you know is dying, but just being a friend is the best thing you can do.

There's nothing you can say that will really make your friend feel better so - just LISTEN.  \n\nJust being there with someone in mourning makes a huge difference.

"Respect"\n\nRev. Steven\n\n  "My condolences to you on your Loss"

Realize that life really doesn't suck at all.  \nA friend dying is a friend who no longer desired to be here on earth and shouldn't really be a sad thing at all.\nWe create our own reality and we should change it if we don't like what we create.  Remember, we create what we think about, what we concentrate on.  If you concentrate on sadness because your friend died then that will be your lot.\nIf you concentrate on the good memories that you have of your friend then that will be your friend's legacy to you.\nLook around you and if you don't like what you see then look within' and change your thoughts.

Acknowledge the person's response and listen to what he or she has to say.  You indicated he or she may be dying, so this is not the time to argue, but to listen.  He or she may have learned some valuable lessons and willing to share with you.

Tell him in so many words that everyone has a different idea of God and God means something different to everyone. He is someone who watches over you in life and when life seems bad thats when God is trying to teach us the most, and he is not a person but a feeling inside of us that lets us know we'll be ok in life. As far as death is concerned tell him that when its time for people to leave the earth God will play with them until their loved ones can join them. I wouldnt explain a concept of hell. The world is negative enough as it is you could tell them maybe that when you die you get a pair of wings, but the bad people in life have to do extra stuff in heaven to get earn their wings...im not religious thats why i can answer this ? without being biased and preaching from the bible. I would encourage him when he gets older to take a world cultures class because i loved it and that was the best class i got the most out of.

when my dad passes away the best thing that comforted me was just having someone to talk to who didnt say "how are you feeling" or "are you ok"...they knew i wasnt ok i had just lost my dad. tell your friend you are sorry about her dad and let your friend know you are there for them and then actually be there for them when they need you...

I would do the same thing that I do every day. I love my job, so I would still go to work. At the end of the day I get to come home to my husband and my son whom I love dearly. \nI probably wouldn't tell anyone that I was dying. I wouldn't want to live the rest of my days feeling pity and sorrow from my loved ones.\nI would just cherish every moment that I have with them, more so than what I do now.

Friends........ wow there isn't even a good enough word for them. I myself have lots of friends, a few good ones, and 1 BEST BEST friend. Sadly my BEST BEST friend died suddenly on March 5th. And this has made me realize how special and important she was to me and in my life. She was a wonderful influence on me and pretty much made me who I am today, seeing as how I was 8 when I became best friends with her and am 13 now. She died at the age of 15. I miss her so much, I can't even put it into words. She was the only person that ever actually knew everything about me. I think friends know us better then our family. Because we tell friends stuff we don't tell our moms, dads, sisters, or brothers. They are truly angels in our lifes. It just takes some time to realize it.
