Thank you, everyone. I really don't mean to come off as naive or selfish in this situation. As I'm sure you are aware, I just don't know a ton about the disease, which is why I'm here. I am currently reading the book that dandylion suggested, as well as speaking with a personal therapist about this. I just want to handle this correctly, if for no other reason than being a compassionate person to someone that I care about, all expectations aside.
