Debra Jarvis, host of the podcast The Final Say: Conversations with People Facing Death, a hospital chaplain and a breast cancer survivor, says you might ask this simple question to your loved one when you talk to them: "Where are you with all this today?" she says.

"Then just wait. They may give you an answer. Then I would say wait a little more, and then the real answer might come out," she says.

You may not always know what to say to your friend, but curiosity is a good start.
