Hello everyone.
My partner, my best friend and love of my life, just found out that his mom has only few months left, cancer has spread too much, no therapy is possible.
My dad fought a battle with cancer, and has passed after two years of great suffering.
I want to help and support my partner and his dad, I want to be there for his mom, for all of them, in every possible way, but my partner is suffering in silence and has difficulty opening up. He is generally like that. Whatever I ask him, he tells me not to worry or gives me short answers.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, in sense of how i can provide emotional support, practical help and anything else.
Where should I start from?
Thank you
