How do you help someone who doesn't want to be helped my dad has cancer recently diagnosed my mam is sorting all appointments and looking after him as she has for two years since his heart attack we both want to help him but he will go to his appointments but doesn't want to talk about it or acknowledge it which I understand I don't think I would either but even asking him if he's OK he he doesn't want sympathy and tells everyone he wants to be left alone I keep trying to give him his space but its only been three days and I'm pulling my hair out even find it hard just to text and just say silly things like do u like this film I bought just to talk but I know he doesn't want to talk sorry for such along question
