So Dad called. Just to let me know that everything is awful and he can hardly breathe and that he’s informed he’ll be dead by Christmas. I am spectacularly ill equipped to deal with these conversations. What do people say in these circumstances? Please feel better? Try not to die (unless that’s your preference)?

@pompomtom Sorry to hear that. It doesn't really matter what you say, it's just about having some kind of contact.
