To not know how to respond

[mightyminty]

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I’ve just found out that my DB has been diagnosed with cancer that’s untreatable and life limiting.

I just don’t know how to respond! I want to be supportive and positive but don’t want to trivialise the seriousness of it. There is only the 2 of us and I’m devastated but don’t want to make him feel worse either.

How have other people dealt with this?

No thankfully I won’t need to act as an Executor. He’s chosen someone impartial due to the family dynamics, which is the best option.
