I think this is the hardest thing to accept as we just want to help but just reminding yourself it is happening to them first so we just need to support. You could try writing the way you feel down and tearing it up, just to get it out. You want so badly to change their mind but sadly that’s not what will best support them. Giving them all the information and support is what we can do. We don’t know where they are on grief process, the first step is denial. But it is important to let them know you are there for them on the bad and good days. Be kind to yourself, it is an incredibly hard time and we’ve all just got to keep making our way through as best as we can. Take care.
