Question:
my friend has a degerative pancreas he knows he is dying but will not tell any of his family what can i do?please help
Answers:
Respect his wishes that his family not be told yet. He apparently isn't ready for them to know.
I am sorry you are going through this with your friend.you are a good and decent person to be concerned about his family, but right now I do think his wishes should come first.
Be there for your friend.even when he gets angry and irrational. Make sure he has good food available to eat, that money is not a concern for him right now..that he has entertainment to occupy his time rather than just feeling morose all the time.
Good luck to you.

hmm..this is the time when he need alot of help from your side. don't get worry infront of him. always give him courage as much as you can try to talk about some humorous.talk with his family personaly give them advice that don't get sad infront of him.tell him that he can get over come on his disease only with his will power give him alot of hope. take him out for different activities..mean give him hope you life as much as you. no one know when he or she will die so don't get disappointed Inshallah he will not die..life and death is in hand of God (Allah).I'll pray for him take care
Just be there for him. I work for hospice and if he wants to talk about it, then listen. Do little things for him, like reading books/poems, etc., preparing meals, doing laundry, etc.
be there for him and respect his wishes until he is ready to tell them - remember to also take care of yourself too and dont take on too much burden, you will be no use to him if you fall ill :)
if it is possible to cure it then you must inform his family otherwise listen to him. don't say it to anyone. let him enjoy his last few days in his own style and not in anyone's sympathy.
Respect his wishes. Put yourself in his shoes. If you didn't want your family to know you're dying, would you want him telling them anyway? Of course not.
All you can do is be there for him. Try getting him outdoors whenever possible. It is also best that he tells his family before it is too late. Hopefully this works.
Just be the best friend you can be, and always have a listening ear. Respect their wishes, and spend as much time as you can with your friend, because one day they wont be there and you can charish the memories that you have made with them. Also see if your friend and you can go have have a professional picture taken together.
