What To Do

This is a tough one babymandy. Right now my opinion is to just keep treating him as you always have, as a friend. It is always so hard to know what to say, especially when they are so despondent and depressed. Hopefully in time he will come to terms with his condition and with your help, treating as you always have, he may feel less depressed about it all. When ever anyone finds out about an illness like this they go through stages, like the stages of grief, they will first deny it, then they will be depressed by it, and fear it, and eventually they come to terms with it, but it is a long process sometimes. I am not saying that you should ignore his condition, but do treat him as you always have, and if he needs an ear to listen then listen, if he needs a shoulder to cry on then let him cry, and if he asks for your advice give it freely and honestly. And, of course a lot of prayer is needed. I will add you both to my prayers this evening.
