Hi,
You have come to a good place to help you.
Any questions you have there is always someone out there who can answer them.
mk74tom is correct and you cant help someone until they are ready however, talking to people here may make you feel better and make you more knowledgeable about their condition, so that when they need you to help them you are prepared.
Good luck to you
Tania

Just keep praying and talking to them. Sometimes just letting them know you are there and praying will help. You have to let them come to you though, you can't help somebody until they are willing to be helped. So I would just remind them occasionally that you are there without sounding like you're nagging, and hoppfully they will soon realize that they need your support.

Just take it slow when they are ready they may open up more. As long as they know you care and are there for them. Maybe once in a while send a note or card that sying you are there for them and that you care.

help them how? Maybe we want to help that person how WE think they need help, but we need to listen to how THEY want the help; it may be different.

having lived with disabilities and working with people with disabilities, I favor self-determination. I would want to meet and discuss with this person first before I advocate that they MUST be saved. I have only read one side.
sure it's tough to see a loved one die, but a better perspective (less selfish) to look at it like they are in control.
I just hope they have accepted Jesus.
