Stay near them, love them

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.

It is so difficult to deal with these situations.
Staying close by to the person so they know you are there when they need you its the most important thing to do.
Show them you care, show them what they have and they you will miss them if you lose them.
Be truthful. They don't need pity, they need love.

At the end its their decision and their life. As soon as they take that decision with a full understanding of what they will risk, they you can do nothing other then stay near them.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the answer.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
