How do I help my BF who revd diagnosis a few months ago. DR said he may live for 2 yrs. BF in deep depression.. he goes into a cocoon.. and shuts down. Doesn't communicate to me much.. told me he dreamt of proposing to me.. now all his plans are kaput...I don't know how to tell him when he shuts down. He also had 2. outs of COVID. What do I do?
We recommend joining a support group. You don't have to go through this alone, and your BF might really find some solace in meeting others who know exactly what he's going through. Find a support group here: www.pulmonaryfibrosis.org/supportgroups Further, no one, including a doctor, can tell someone how long they will live. Every single case of PF is unique, and some people live and thrive for many years. We have a huge amount of resources to help you. Can you give us a call and talk with us directly? We can be reached at 844.TalkPFF.
