A dear friend is in the last stages of cancer, at home with hospice care. I live 300 miles away but want to "be there" for her DS (30s), who is on his own with no other family or partner to support him. Do I go now whilst she is still just about here (don't know how many days left) or do I wait and help with the practical stuff once she has died?
Don't want to intrude by going too early but don't want him to feel completely alone either -when I ask he says he's fine and it's too much to ask for me to go down there (I have a young DS and a fairly pressured job). I can't stay indefinitely when I do get there, so I don't know what to do for the best.
Your advice gratefully received, thank you.
