(September 20, 2023 at 5:14 am)ColeDavis Wrote: I am an atheist and so is my dying friend. Is there any advice out there about comforting people in this situation? Other people apparently visit him but skirt around his
illness and his impending death, so he particularly asks to see or speak to me.

I apologise if this has appeared before, or is in the wrong forum; please let me know.

Not a clue how you should approach this, since I don't know the type of person your friend is.
