Is your BIL lucid? Can he talk? If he can, just talk to him normally, and goo by how he talks. Don't give him any false hopes. Let him do alot of the talking if he wants to. But first just see how he feels and what his outlook is.
You can just keep him cmpany cause many people who are dying feel incredibly lonely. I know my husband did. I was there all the time, but that's not the same. He wanted his friends around, and they came early on, but when things started getting bad, no one came, and that hurt him. So be there for him, and let him talk.
Best of luck and thanks for going for him. That's what friends are for. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
