crying, without a fucking clue what to do with myself

[laefin]

my boyfriend's father is battling cancer... and not winning. i love both of them very much.

sometimes i get overwhelmed. Actually, quite often. there are many times where i feel i'm in over my  head, but then i think it's really not even an option for me to have that attitude. in it til the end, whatever that entails.

just be there for him. that's

Hey lady, Ana told me your LJ name and I hope you don't mind my reading/commenting

Thank you so much. Just the fact that you took the time to respond means a lot.

hey girly i think your looking for answers that don't need to be answers, i other words your looking for a way to comfort him and help him in this time of need however all the advice given thus far is probably the best advice. just be there that's all you need to do because being there mean so much more that anything else you could do!

Most of the advice has been given, or guessed at by you. You know I've dealt with similar things, and not only with the most obvious example. I'm still in between "Smack the cigarette from their hand." and "Let them do what they will."

I hope you can help him find peace in this. A hard place to be.

Don't forget not to be there when he doesn't want you there, as an afterthought. A lot of people have to have their own time. I know him not at all, but thought I'd throw that out there since a lot of people don't seem to understand that. I need lots of space and know others who do, too, especially when dealing with stress and heartache.

Oh and wishing you many, many good hugs. Real ones, not phony electronic ones.
