Have you ever been at a loss words when talking to a friend who is seriously I'll? Rest assured that you can meet this challenge. How?

There are no hard and fast rules. Cultural differences may be involved. People's personalities may also differ greatly.

Thus, what may make one sick person feel better may not helpful to another. And circumstances and feelings migth vary considerably from one day to the next.

So the overriding needs is for you to try to put yourself in the individuals place and find out what he or she really wants and needs from you. How can you go about doing this?

BE A GOOD LISTENER
When visiting a friend who is I'll, listen attentively and sympathetically. Do not rush to provide advice or feel that u always have to come up with a solution. In a hurry to express yourself, you might inadvertently blurt out necessarily looking for answers but for someone who will listen with an open heart and mind.
Let your friend express himself freely. Do not cut him short trivializing his condition with cliches.

BE HELPFUL
Needs will vary as your friend moves from diagnosis to treatment. But all during this time, he may need help.

Rather than a general offer- if u need anything, call me try to be specific. Offering to help with such daily activities are preparing meals, cleaning, washing, running errands, shopping, and driving your friend to and from the clinic or to the hospital for treatment are just few of the practical ways to show that you care. Be dependable and punctual. Keep your world, and meet your word, and meet your commitment.
