  • i personally don't think one last christmas is a good idea. the person you described doesn't sound like they are capable of getting up and around and they probably know they are dying. it would put pressure on them to pretend to be happy. if they are physically able to get up and around then i would ask them what they would want. but most people with only 2 weeks probably don't have the ability or energy to get up. be with them, talk and remember the good times. let the person talk and say what they want to say and listen. be upbeat, but realistic. that is a very hard question to answer.
  • I would suggest nothing, I'd be there for them to talk to or whatever they are able to do. I'd be a good listener in case they wanted to say something or tell great story's of the past. Main point I'm trying to make is just being there for them. Tell them you love them and let nature take it course. (not trying to be cold)
  • That's aweful. It must be hard to know that. I think it would have to depend on the person and also the relationship between those people. As in, thinking of something meaningful, maybe based on something that happened in the past or something that person loved or even something that the person has always wanted to do but never got a chance. Of course there's things that person won't be able to do because of their conditions. Like travel the world or go on a picnic in the middle of nowhere. But that doesn't mean the world couldn't be brought to them in some way. Sorry I can't give anything more specific, I just think it would have to be highly personal. My best wishes and good energy to everyone. If I prayed, I would, but I can do my version.
  • One last Christmas is a good idea, or a HUGE family reunion.
