Description

The Asking Eric advice column is written by R. Eric Thomas.

Dear Eric: I have been diagnosed with a terminal disease (ya, it’s lousy) and my outlook is just a year or so. I have let very few people know. Most are very sympathetic and supportive, but a couple have totally withdrawn. Should I try to connect with them? Or just let it go?
