be happy for the time you had together instead of sad for the time you won't have

there are things that are within our control and things that aren't. humans are destined to die. you can't just live your entire life fearing the deaths of yourself or of others'. accept it as part of the cycle and move on

the only reason you should be concerned is if you have something you can do about it and you didn't. if your friend is smoking and you didn't tell them to stop, I'd call that not caring, and I'd find that irresponsible.

but if your friend already has cancer and the doctor said they have two weeks left, honestly? the best form of caring would be to just keep living your life normally and not let your friends' situation get you down.
