My friends spouse has been diagnosed with a brain tumour about 2 years ago, they have been having chemo ever since having the tumour removed.
Over the last 6 months things have been very difficult for them at home. Their spouse is very demanding of their time and is constantly asking questions, questions which are pointless, the same questions time and time again,. Every few minutes they call their name and ask a question. Even if my friend isn't home their spouse will call with questions that have no meaning. It is never ending.
The spouse isn't very mobile after putting on weight thoughout the treatment process and is suffering with depression and anxiety.
Now my friend is on the edge. They feel they aren't able to cope anymore. They will not take any time out as they feel guilty knowing things are worse for their spouse. They also have a young child.
How can I help my friend? I don't know what to say or how to encourage them to look after themselves and not feel.guilty about asking others to chip in and help so they can have some time out for a few days.
