Helping a friend that’s terminal that lives alone

Hi All, 

we have a friend who lives alone, he is terminal. Apart from my husband & I and the mother of his children & his children - no one else goes & visits him. 
we don’t mind by any means but I’m wondering what we can do or if there is any help out there to keep him comfortable or some tips for food options etc or any tips really. 

Thankyou and Bless ❤️

Hello @J2312 ,

 

Sorry to hear about your friend, I am so glad he has yourself and your family ❤️

 

May I suggest you give 13 11 20 a call and they might know of some services around your friend that could assist?

 

Is he undergoing any treatment still?

 

-Kate

You do not say specifically what disease he has but consult his diet and beneficial foods from his doctor. Also, give him a spiritual life, come to his house often or let him participate in many activities with family and friends, it is a very good way for him to forget that he is sick. Don't mention his illness, treat him as a normal healthy person and do things that are good for his health unknowingly.
