    That's bloody awful! I'm so sorry, hun. The best advice I can give ya, sweetie, is don't even mention his illness- (not even in passing), 'cos if the poor sod's gunna die anyway, and there's bugger-all he can do about it, then the last thing he needs to hear is depressing **** or you weeping and crying round him all the time. For his sake, (and for yer own), try and be as mature as ya can about this, 'cos after all, he's told ya the situation, and there's sod-all that you, I, he or anyone else, for that matter, can do to change it, so my advice is, just be yourself round him, have a laugh together, have a joke together, do whatever- just enjoy what little time you've got left together, and make the last knockings of his life happy, not miserable as bloody sin- (as crap as you, yourself, might feel deep down inside, never let HIM see that on the outside. Try and be an adult about this whole, sorry situation, and hold your feelings in for as long as ya can!) If ya need to cry, then go for it- (afterall, there's no shame in crying, when it's being done for the right reasons, and God knows, this is a bloody good reason to wanna cry!) However, if ya do feel as though ya need to cry, get up, make an excuse and leave the room, sharpish- (try not to cry in front of yer boyfriend, 'cos chances are, he feels bloody bad enough as it is- [mentally, emotionally, and, if he's dying, then I daresay, probably physically an' all), so the last thing the poor bugger needs is you, his girlfriend- (the girl who claims to care about him a lot, and for the record, I can tell that ya do, by the way you're talking about him on here), adding to his ever-growing list of worries. At the end of the day, hun, he needs you to be strong for him, once he's gone, and he needs to know that, as upset and as heartbroken as you're bound to be, that you're gunna be able to cope with his death, and that you're not gunna fall apart, 'cos I tell ya what, hun, if I was in his position right now, then I'd wanna know that Kay-kay- (my fiancée), was gunna be alright, and that she was gunna be able to cope once I was dead and gone. If she went to bloody pieces after I was gone, I tell ya what, hun, I'd come back and bloody well haunt her, 'cos I'd wanna look down from wherever I may be, and I'd wanna see my soulmate- (the girl I love, adore and worship with all my bleedin' heart and soul), happy, not a bloody sobbing, jibbering wreck, sat in a dark, dank corner, on the bleedin' kitchen-floor, crying her bloody eyes out day in, day out, and I'm sure that if, (God forbid!), summin' happened to my Kay-kay, then she wouldn't wanna look down from wherever SHE was, and see ME sitting about, getting more and more bloody depressed by the bleedin' day either. Nah! I know for a fact, she'd wanna look down and see me happy, laughing, joking, and remembering all the good times that we had together, and all the sweet, precious memories what we made together over the years- (as shitty as I felt inside, and believe me, hun, I'd be feeling like absolute **** inside, if summin' happened to my baby), but as crappy as I felt, I'd still try me best to hold it together and not go completely off the bloody rails again, 'cos I know that's what Kay-kay'd want, and I know for a fact that she'd come back and go bloody mad at me, if she looked down and saw me doing anything but that, and so therefore, I'd be trying my absolute best to respect that- (and believe me, your boyfriend WILL be looking down on ya, from wherever he may be- trust me on that score, hun, and when he looks down, he's gunna wanna see happy smiles, not tears!) Once again, I'm so sorry, hun, but I promise, you're gunna get through this. It might be hard- (nigh-on bleedin' impossible to hack it, to kick off with), but trust me, hun, it does get easier as time goes on! Always remember, time's a great healer. Come what may, good luck, my sweet, and just you remember what I said, hun: try and stay strong, for both your sakes. Peace and love. Be lucky. xxxx

    I'm sorry. Just get to know each other more, make memories, maybe write him a letter explain how much you care for him. People get close because they have fun and make memories together, and they learn about each other while they are at it. You might have limited time but the best thing to do is to make as many memories that you can to cherish whats you can't make anymore. I'm sorry, and I hope this helps.

    The best thing that you can do is to stay with him. In these final moments of his life, he will appreciate any kind of positivity. In the end, he will pass away knowing that he was not alone and that he was loved. My advice: be there for him and stay strong for him. He needs it more than ever.

    Don't say anything to make it awkward. Just undoubtedly, care for him for less than a month or more. Show him you care about him and everything he does. Make him feel special. :)
