Hello Everyone,
Im sort've new here and I am not a CF sufferer. I am fifteen, and started dating someone with CF about a month ago. I found out my boyfriend had CF before I dated him, and that didnt stop me. I like him a lot -- he is really wonderful and nothing could stop me from liking him esp not him being sick.
Two things I need help with --
First off, a long time ago when I was about seven or eight my best friend had cystic fibrosis but she died young. I was little so I didnt understand but now being older I do. Sometimes when I think about my boyfriend having CF my thoughts trace back to my best friend that I lost and it makes me so sad. Her reasons for passing were unfountant but she did and I keep thinking about loosing another person I love and it scares me. Whenever I hear my bf cough I feel horrible. I want to help him, hold him, make him better. But I cant, and Im worried. Should I share this with him? Should I mention I lost my friend to this? I feel like saying that would make things unpostive... would it be a bad move?
and, im sure like a lot of you know--
My boyfriend is sick a lot; is there any way you think would be good to help him out? I mention I miss him when I dont see him in school but I feel bad, and I want to do more. When you guys are feeling like crap and forced to sit around all day what do you really think would make you feel better?
Thanks for the help, Im glad I found this place.
