Update, Sunday morning.
Josh passed away last night with him Mom and girlfriend by his side. I just learned this morning. G is very quiet . He let me hug him. I asked if he knew of anything we can do for Lauren. She has a job and has family nearby. I really don’t know much about her.
Last night I drove my son to Boston to see his friend, Josh, in the hospital. Josh is 29, as is my son, G. He’s dying of liver failure. He’s G’s best friend and G is struggling a great deal. He has mental health issues (untreated) and this is hitting him hard. Josh’s girlfriend is pregnant with their first baby.
If you could spare thoughts or prayers for Josh, Lauren, Josh’s mom and G I’d really appreciate it. Thanks.

Ouch, he is so young. Wish wishing for just the right miracle that will allow that baby to grow up with her father, and peace for G.

What a sad and sorrowful time for your son. My ods lost his bf to a rare form of cancer at 23. It was a hard time for my son and a few years later it still has an impact, but he has healed quite a bit. You'll be there to listen, comfort and help your ds grieve in the healthiest way. My mama heart goes out to you.
My prayers go out to Josh, Lauren, Josh's mom, G and that little baby who will come into a very different world than the one Josh had planned.

Oh, I am so sorry. I am praying for G. I hope this will lead him to seeking help for his own issues. Hugs, KelleeM . So much this. I had a very gentle “come to Jesus” with G this morning. I was as gentle as I could be while also expressing my pain and wish for him to lead a happy life. We both cried a lot of tears. Thank you all. ❤️ |

Oh, I'm so very sorry. Understatement. That's such a tragic situation. Having suffered your own enormous loss, I suspect you'll be a great support for your son as he walks his grief journey. I'm sorry that he has to face this at such a young age. Ditto times 1,000 for Josh and his girlfriend... and the baby.
One thought that jumped to mind was this. Would you and your son be interested in setting up a GoFundMe account for Josh and his family? It would give your son the healing benefit of being able to DO SOMETHING to help in a horrible situation, let Josh know that his girlfriend and child will be supported (hopefully there are lots of people in their lives/community who would step up), and would be a boon to the girlfriend as well. And it wouldn't be "something" it would be SOMETHING truly impactful.
Is G in a position to tell his friend that he will "be there" for the mom and baby? That would be an amazing gift for the dying young man.
I'd be happy to contribute to the GoFundMe now and purchase from an Amazon Wish List when the time is right. I don't know how much family support the young mom will have, but in her situation, I can't imagine there being "too much."
I'm sending lots of love to all.
