This is very sad news! I hope that somehow the vet is wrong and he gets better despite their predictions. Only time will tell.
If it is FIP and nothing can be done - at least you have a little while to say goodbye to him. My first cat was killed on the road by a car. We only had him for a few months; and it was such an unexpected occurrence that I stopped liking caramel for a long time (his name was Caramel). I still think about him, some 12-13 years later. I didn't get to say goodbye to him (or even see his body because a neighbor found and buried him for us). Also, I don't think we took any pictures so all I have to remember him by is my memories.
We have two cats now, and neither is young. The older one has nearly died 3-4 times (blood poisoning, pneumonia, abcesses) so I've had to think about losing him and it breaks my heart because he is so dear to me. But, in a way, I'm also prepared. I've taken and continue to take pictures of him so that I can remember all his facial expressions. I watch him and memorise his unique mannerisms. We have our own special language of eye-blinking and body language developed over a long shared history of interaction. He will always be my special cat - even after he dies no one else can replace him.
Spend your remaining time with him well, and you won't regret it in the future.
