I am at my friend's house now. Been here for about 3 hours. Definiely there is a sadness, but I can not believe how accepting he is. Yes, he has anger at the doctors who have been treating him for the pain he has had so long, wondering why all they ever blamed it on was his drinking - sorry, I do not buy that. But now, his thoughts are on wanting the pain to end and how his wife will do - most dying people think of those who will be left, and not themselves - perhaps that is a survival mode. I have cd's he wanted to hear playing for him. What a dear friend he has been, but I know I must lose him...damn

I cannot think of words to give you comfort because everything that I have to say seems so trite.
Losing a friend isn't easy...and it is even more difficult to find a way to truly be with them because so much seems to get in the way...anger, grief, etc. But that is what you MUST do. For him, for yourselves. Take every moment to truly be there together...as friends are for one another.
He will appreciate your presence and you will gain good memories to carry with you for the remainder of your own life.
My prayers are with you, and your friends in all of this. May God grant each one of you the peace that only God can bring!
