Someone, anyone please help!?!?!?

Question

My friend texted me asking for help, but I have no idea how to do so.

One of her friends in the hospital right now, and they are going to pull the plug on him.

She can’t talk to him because he can’t hear her.

What do I say how can I comfort her?!

Answer 1

tell her it will be alrite and jus make her write stuff and show him wat she wrote (wat she wants to say)

Answer 2

Sometimes it doesn't matter if the person can really hear you talking to them or not, it is therapeutic for the person experiencing the lost.  As a friend be there.  No matter what.  Trust me there will be hard times when she will not want to talk, don't break the silence, just being there says something. Be the one person she can count on day or night.  You are in my prayers

Answer 3

i am so very sorry!

i had a bf a few years ago who was in the hospital after a fetal carcrash and they finally decided to pull the plug.

honostly it was tramatic because i didnt get to see him at all during the time he was in the hospital..

but what i learned and what you can tell your friend is that someone is going to be watching over her now..and now he isnt suffering.

keep by her side--let her cry on your shoulder, let her get mad and angry if she needs to--totally normal..after about a month and a half i finally calmed down over it all.

she will learn a new way to live her life and to cope with it..she will eventually feel better and get back to her old self--it will take some time.

Just be her friend and be there for her :)

best of luck

--edit--my past bf was brain dead..basically nothing they can do but let him go and in peace..

Answer 4

All I can tell you is my experience in health care. We can never know if a person really can or can't hear. I took care of a man in a coma, in the ICU, on a ventilator, for weeks. We bathed him, talked to him, moved him/turned him. Some people talked in the room as if he wasn't there, because they thought he couldn't hear. I talked to him (and a couple of other nurses and staff), as if he could hear, because I am a firm believer that we can never really know if the person can hear us or not. One day, he suddenly got better and woke up, and the doctor was able to get him off the vent. He said that he could recognize the voices of people, because he could hear everything. And he thanked the people who talked to him when caring for him. I can only say, if it were my friend, go ahead and talk as if he can hear. Because he very well may be able to. Give your heart. Sincerely, Lynn

Answer 5

Write messages on paper or mobile ,so that he reads. I hope his vision is alright.

There is nothing to worry,just convey or communicate with him through writing....the only solution.
