What can you say when visiting a dying relative
We all have to face death someday and it is part of living.
Most people when dying, even if they have not "walked" with God will certainly be reaching out to Him in someway. There is no sin too great to be forgiven and I think the most important thing for a dying person to do is to get right with their Maker, God.
When you first see them, show love and then just be there and let then take the lead in the conversation. Talk about death with them if this is what they wish to talk about. Do not be afraid.
If you yourself believe in praying, do so before you go in, that God will give you the right words to say.
This is always a hard situation to be in, being the one that will continue to live when the other person is not.
the Bible assures us that we will see each other again one day because Jesus died for us so that we can all be together again in Heaven and later the Earth made new. See the book of Revelation chapter 21, beautiful promises that you may want to take to read to your close relative for comfort and assurance of a better life to come.
Also the First book of Thessalonians chapter 4 verses 13 to 18.
there are lots of other scriptures but these are my favorites on the subject of death and a new life with Jesus one day.
God go with you

First, what kind of a relationship did you have with this person. Were you close? Did or do you love this person? Did you spend alot of time together growing up? Is this person older than you or same age?
