I'm sorry, your father is not looking well and may not have much time left.
It seems that your father won't be able to hold on much longer
If you know an estimated time too, make sure to let the family know how long much longer they should expect their father to live.
Example:
"I'm sorry but it seems that your father is not looking well and may only have 2 weeks left to live"
"Your father is in a critical condition and might not be able to live past this week"
- which means he only has about a week or less.
You can also say "It seems that your father won't be able to hold on much longer"
- to "hold on" means to survive or to keep going so if he's in a weak or critical state then he "won't be able to hold on much longer".
推定時間も分かっている場合は、家族に、父親が暮らすのにどれくらいの時間を要するかを伝えるようにしてください。
例：
"I'm sorry but it seems that your father is not looking well and may only have 2 weeks left to live"
「残念ですが、あなたの父親はよくないようで、2週間しか生きることができません」
"Your father is in a critical condition and might not be able to live past this week"
- これは彼が約1週間以下しか持たないということを意味します。
また、"It seems that your father won't be able to hold on much longer"と言うこともできます。
"hold on"とは生き続けることを意味します。
弱い状態や批判的な状態にある場合は、 "won't be able to hold on much longer"ということもできます。
You don't have much time so please prepare yourself mentally.
You don't have much longer so you better be prepared for the worst.
「覚悟しておいてください」を単純に訳すと「Please be prepared」でいいのですが、このシチュエーションでは「心の準備をしてください」という意味も含まれていると思うので「Please prepare yourself mentally / Be mentally prepared」がベターです。

I'm afraid he may not make it through the night.
