Introduction:If you found out you are dying, what things would you put on your list, of things that would be helpful to you.
A person who's dying doesn't want to be treated like he's already dead. A person whose terminal still likes conversation, with the need to be heard. Maybe rent a movie, and buy some light snacks. Then, watch this great movie with your loved one, as if they are just fine. This will help the ill person feel comforted, and more at peace about his surroundings.
Sit down with the person whose ill, and find out their favorite fruits, and meal choices. Try to get them good fruits to keep their immune system up for as long as possible. I know someone who just found out his body is full of cancer, and may not have long to live. I want him to live comfortable for as long as possible. Good food choices may help some.
Ask the person who's ill if you could cook meals, or bring over leftovers from any of your meals. Shop for what they like. Then, prepare it the way they always liked it. Hopefully you know how to convince their taste buds to eat something that's good for them.
Call the person up on the phone that's ill, and ask them if they are up for company. Ask them if they want to play a card game, or some other type of game. Games are good to help get your concentration set on something else for a change
Praying with a loved one tells them how much they are loved, and valued. They will instantly feel more at peace just by praying with them. This is the easiest part of this list. It speaks loud about how much you care.
Many other things can be done to help someone that is dying. Taking them for doctor visit maybe another choice. This is my list on the topic. What's yours opinion?

What a nice list! I care of my mother two years ago when she died of cancer. I particularly like number 5! High five!

This is so true, great list.
Your list of things to do for a dying family member can be helpful to anyone who is experiencing a death in their life. How thoughtful of you to make this list.
Excellent, excellent, excellent.
I've experienced this far too often..it's so hard to know what to say and do.
The hardest part for me was letting Dad know it was okay to die.
