Scarleteen

Hi guys

so ive got a question for you all here at scarleteen...

this guy ive been seeing recently informed me that, although I already knew his mum was quite unwell, she actually isn't well at all, she has cancer. this was a bit of a shock to me, as you can imagine, and she is getting an op on Wednesday which will hopefully make her better.

however, im just looking for some help...luckily, none of my close family have been in hospital for anything major, so when he asked me if id go visit her with him the day after I said yes absolutely I would, but I find myself abit confused...I don't know how to deal with it, and im not sure how best to support both of them during this difficult time? obviously ive told him if he needs anything im here, but has anyone got any words of advice on how to help them both?

Thanks x

Really, when it comes to how to help people, the best way to go is usually to just let them know you are available, and then ask them what you can do. They are the ones who will know what they need and what they are open to with a given person.
