* Find a comfortable setting: Choose a time and place where you feel safe and relaxed to have this conversation.
* Be honest and open: Share your feelings and thoughts openly and honestly, even if they are difficult to express.
* Listen actively: Pay attention to the other person's feelings and perspectives.
* Respect their wishes: If someone doesn't want to talk about death, respect their wishes.
