Feeling burnt out

If he is open to speaking to someone then the Macmillan number can help, but as with anything he will need to do that in his own time...and maybe he won’t want to at all. 

He will be going through a process himself which will have various stages of this before he reaches acceptance. There is no time frame to this as everyone is different, even though we want to help sometimes there isn’t anything that can help, apart from just being there and him knowing you are there without maybe saying anything. 

Please remember though...and this was the best advice I was ever given when dealing with my moms terminal diagnosis....you can’t pour from an empty cup. You need to look after yourself and also be true to yourself. If you need to cry, cry. If you need to shout, shout, I’ve taken to climbing a local hill and having a good shout when no one is around! Speak to friends and family. Do things that give you pleasure...that goes for you both. The future may not be what you thought it was going to be, but in time I hope you can both start enjoying the little things and make the most of all the time you have. Xx
