Hello Banana52,

I'm sorry to hear about your family member. It can feel like a difficult position to be in, because you don't want to burden that person, but this isn't just anyone this is one of your best friends. No doubt you've talked over so many things over the years, so I think it's really important that you talk through each's other feelings in this moment. I think it's also key that you let other people close to you get an idea of how this is affecting you, to give them the chance to be there for you. Grief is a very personal thing, and it's natural to want to anticipate that. We have information on caring for the carer when someone is dying and support when someone is dying, which you can refer to at anytime.

I hope this helps,

Moderator Anastasia
