BOB FLETCHER /IOW CAN 1 CHEER UP A TERMINALLY ILL PERSON? The first thing to do is give up the idea that "cheering up" is what a terminally III person needs or wants. Take him seri- ously; the stages of grief through which the terminally ill person travels are sometimes rocky. Take time to care about what he says to you. Listen care- fully, and don't be afraid to respond with your own thoughts. Be honest; it's all right to express your sorrow, or your own fears for the person. Get to know the ,terminauy ill person as a person, and ap- preciate him as a person. Talk about things that interest both 01 you. Don't cut him off from the outside world just be- cause he may be in the hospital. And don't be afraid to talk about death. The terminally ill person may be aching for someone to talk to about his fears. Don't shy away from that. But let the laughter come when it does, too. Everyone's life will be the richer for it.
