Prepping to say goodbye to FIL

I have no idea what to say to my dying FIL. April will be the last time I see him.

Do I "pretend" like things are status quo? Do I have a heart to heart talk?

I have no idea what to talk to him about in general, let alone at a delicate time. There is no "feel better" at this point. He is dying. He knows it; I know it.

Our religious beliefs are different, so no ground to talk about there. I really don't think he likes me anyway, so maybe he won't care at all.

A new rite of passage in our lives.....the death of a parent.

    I would concentrate on the kids and how they will miss him. Think about the things he has done for them while they have had him and remind him of the good times. So sorry that you and your family are going through this.
