I want to do my best for my friend.

Since my boyfriend died I have declined because he really loved me and nobody will ever love me like that.

His best friend Kevin has had chemotherapy for lung cancer.

Kevin phoned last night and told me the doctor said he had 3-18months to live.

I am thinking shall I invite Kevin for dinner or offer to go to him, do shopping and clean his flat.

I'm in the UK.

It sound like Chase you have gone through a rough time when your Boyfriend died. Now you are considering something similar and it could amplify your Low mood, Depression. Be careful. there is no problem with a friendship on an understanding you remember sad to say life seems short

There is no reason why you should not have dinner together that is fine. However He is terminal and the relationship may be quite short.

Whatever you decide, I would personally be concerned. Can they not arrange a Social Worker to help with His final days. Is there a possiblity He will be in a Hospice in the end ?

Sorry, Keep a Hold

Hello Bob I am OK because after Charlie died I did decline because I had no support.

But I decided that we are either alive or dead. Life is a series of problems that we have to sort out.

I am going to phone Kevin later and ask him what he would like to do.

He has been getting abusive texts from his 'friend' but he told me that about 2 years ago.

I'm lonely because I won't mix with people who upset me just for company.

Thanks for replying so quickly

Love and hugs
