What's a present you can get someone who is soon to pass?

Its a good ide, but definitively something they wouldnt want. Thank you though.

What about a gift basket filled with his favourite chocolates, cookies, or jams (or other favoured foods). At least that way, the gift can be appreciated while he’s still around and you don’t have to worry about what to do with it later.

Hes diabetic - he cant eat much of that :/ I guess i could get him some of his favorite treats. Good idea. Thanks Colleen.

If you give a very special gift, then just be there for this person as a real friend, cause giving a gift at a time of passing only means that its done away with in the long run.

Give him,his favorite perfume,a bunch of candies and a letter with a special message.But if you really want to ask me ,I will ask you to not give them something which will remind them of a thing,which they can connect with their mortal days.Example:A bouquet of flowers etc. That will only make them feel sad and dready.More over all,don’t change your behavior towards him.We tend to do that a-lot.That won’t (like we think) make them feel better.Imagine yourself in the situation which he is currently facing,would you like people,who didn’t talk much to you,sit beside you and act like they have always been your best friends,in pity? No.So,yes,a box of candies ,his favorite perfume,a special letter (to make him feel better) and Normal behavior.

You are welcome.

Your time and effort is the best and most meaningful gift .

Be there and do all you can when you can,that will mean more to him than any material gift.Love is everything.

The best gift ever is…your love, your time and your attention…

Write him a letter (not typed; pen on paper) about your feelings for him, your shared memories, how you want to remember him, anything you want to forgive him for or ask his forgiveness, how you think he has influenced you. Also about your life, things he may not know about you that you could share with him now when there is only time for love without judgment, things you might be able to write to him that would be harder to say out loud.

If he knows you haven’t been eating lately, he’s going to be concerned about you - especially because he knows why. Prepare his favorite meal for him; then sit and eat it with him.

I was only giving you this advice because I thought you were saying that the man or, woman had already passed, and therefor would not need a present. It would only appear to me that this person who has passed would not need a gift just a card for the grieving people who would be missing theirloved ones. And for a person who is soon to pass, why would you even consider giving this person a gift that you know that he or she cannot use in the afterlife? Does this make any sense to you? I mean only a person whose is living and going to go on living would accept such a gift!
