I had a very unfamiliar conversation today with a friend who told me he is dying (yes, I realise that we all are) and has been given a 3-5 year timeline, he is a few years (ok decades) older than me and has grown up Children etc.
I‘m not unaccustomed to people dying, I lost my Brother a few years back before he hit 40 and as a younger man lost a good friend and past girlfriend to substance abuse, but in these instances there was no warning.
i‘m finding it hard how to best support my friend, I don’t want to dance on eggshells but I don’t want to ignore it either, he’ll need help with tasks and transport as time goes on which I’d love to do for him, just struggling to know how to act.
Any thoughts?
