What do you say to someone who has only three weeks to live?

Rachael has just heard that a dear family friend has been diagnosed with liver cancer, and has been given only weeks to live.

Rachael is going to visit this friend, but isn’t sure what she should say to her, or her distraught husband.

She’s written in, saying she’s not sure whether to talk about the weather, family members, or the fun times they’ve had together in the past.

Is it insensitive to talk about happy memories to a person who’s dying? Or is it better to keep the conversation current to help take their mind off the fact that they’re dying?
