We are all different, and so are our relationships with the people closest to us. Responses are likely to range all over the place.
Don't be surprised if people try to avoid the topic: "Oh, goodness. We don't even want to think about that. You should be thinking positive."
Some people may be even more adamant and try to refuse to talk. It's their choice if they choose to leave. Talk to whomever remains, even if it's just one person.
Don't be surprised if the discussion leads to a discussion about other matters the family doesn't usually discuss. There have been reports that this type of discussion leads to a family healing once matters are aired.
