I'm in a very new relationship, we have only been dating for a couple of months and he is living and caring for his mum who has stage four cancer, however he only confessed how ill she really is last week. How do I negotiate this? I want to support him and be there for him but I am feeling a bit out of my depth and am scared of getting something wrong. I have never met her so find it difficult to talk with him about about her and I'm feeling worried about asking for too much of his time as I don't want to take him away from her as I don't know how long he's got left with her. I work in a care home and I'm training to be a social worker so i deal with this kind of stuff every day but it's so different when it's a personal situation. I know that I'm going to have to navigate him grieving soon and I'm just scared to be honest of what's to come and if we will survive this so soon into a relationship. I'm worried I sound selfish and I just want someone to reassure me that this will be ok and talk me through what's likely to come. How can i support him practically and emotionally? He's only early 30's and this is just so sad.
