Step 1
Make sure the person is by themselves and you tell them in private. Never make it a public event unless you fear for your life, if that is the case; you should not be together anyway. Let the person know you do care about their feeling but do not allow yourself to make any open promises about the future.

Step 2
If you are telling someone something deviastating, tell them slowly. Make sure they understand what you are saying. You do not want to leave them with any questions.
-
Step 3
Do not try to tell the person you understand how they feel, you do not and will not. No matter what you have been though in life. At the same time; do not tell them you can’t imagine how they feel. Be careful about using lines like this.

Step 4
Have a game plan for them. If they need to go to the hospital to see a loved one; make sure you have the transportation waiting on them. Do not leave them a person an “emotional wreak” , trying to make decisions for themselves
