The best 2 Ways are:

If you’re concerned about the effect your loved one's weight may be having on their health, start by asking them for permission to discuss it, says Kasey Goodpaster, PhD, a clinical psychologist and director of behavioral services with Cleveland Clinic’s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute in Ohio. “If they don’t want to talk about it, respect their decision and let them know you are available if they change their mind,” she says. “You might say, ‘I’m here for you if or when you would like some support.’”

Additionally, rather than placing the focus solely on a specific person who has extra weight, it’s helpful to make healthy behavior changes together as a family, says Goodpaster. “For example, the whole family might help with grocery shopping and meal prep, go on walks together, or engage in other enjoyable forms of physical activity,” she says

How do you handle visitors effectively?

· Encourage people to visit whenever possible, unless your loved one doesn't want to see anyone. · Tell anyone you think might want to see your loved one, or whom your loved one might want to see, what's going on. · Encourage people to visit early in your loved one's illness, especially if they hope to resolve differences or make amends. · You may wish to appoint a family member or friend to commuincate with your loved one's support system about what is happening. · Sometimes it is a good idea to limit the number of visitors (for example, 2 at a time). · You may wish to set certain visiting hours or use a signal, such as a porch light turned on or a sign on your door, to let people know if it's okay to drop in. · Encourage visitors to call before dropping by to see if your loved one is up to a visit. · Never force your loved one to see anyone who is not welcome. · Know that many visitors will be nervous or even frightened by things like changes in your loved one's appearance, or by the fact that your loved one is dying.
