I have a childhood friend, lets call her J. Our families are quite close since our parents have been friends for quite some time now.
Earlier today my dad told me some unfortunate news, J's dad is in the hospital. He had a bad stroke and the doctor said that things aren't looking good. The chance of survival is low, it's most likely that he will die or end up braindead or something. Tomorrow is the day the doctor will do some tests to see if he lives or not.
I am in shock and quite scared, I am not used to these situations at all. The only death I have experienced was when my grandpa passed away last year, but I wasn't really close to him. When it comes to J's dad.. well, he was part of my childhood and I have fond memories of him. So I do care about him. I really don't want him to pass away.
I also feel really bad/sorry for J, her mom, and her little brother who's only twelve.
I really don't know what to do and how to support J in a good way. I just hope that J's dad survives. And if he does not survive, then I don't know how to feel, how does one really handle death?
Thanks for reading, just needed to vent. I hope whoever is reading this has a wonderful day or night.
