what would you do if someone you love is very sick.?!
Question:
You do all you can to make them feel and think positive thoughts of getting better, BUT THEY JUST DON'T CARE AND THEY'LL RATHER LIVE IN PAIN THEN GET BETTER. How can you help them?
Answers:
Sadly - the truth may be that you cannot. But perhaps someone else can - like a priest, psychologist etc. BUT - the first rule about helping someone is they must WANT to be helped - if they do not - then there is nothing you can do about that.
Other Answers:
Support them in any way they want you to. I've been in similar situations, and just asked the person suffering what THEY wanted me to do for them.
Be there for them and don't make them feel guilty for not being able to get better.
When you have made your loved one comfortable, and have kept a positive attitude, and they choose to remain in pain, you need to take some time away from them to spend on yourself. It is as important for caregivers to get care as it is for the patient, because if the caregiver doesn't keep healthy and happy, they, too, will become sick and then there will be NO one to care for them. You are an important person, so take care of yourself. Good luck.
Introduce them to Jesus. If you don't know Him personally find someone who does. Then that person can have hope for healing in this life and a great expectation of joy in the life to come.
James 5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. (14) Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (15) And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Do what you can to make every day special for them. Find counselling for you, to help you through what must be a difficult time for everyone. Remember, you can't change anyone else's actions or emotions; you can help, but they have to eventually make the choice to feel a certain way themselves.
all you can do is be available. You can't make someone help themselves. I know that's a tough idea to wrap your brain around, but i have found out the painful way that it's right. Tell the person: "I love you and it makes me sad that you don't seem to be able to help yourself. I will be here for you but i can't make your decisions for you." Put another way, the only way to help is realize you can't help and model good loving behaviour. Don't let it drag you down into their muck and mire. We all eventually stand alone and have to make our own decisions. I also believe prayer will comfort you though i believe fate has preordained the course already.
Stop giving them all of that attention and pray for them. Even though some people can be very ill at the same time they are loving all of the attention. When they get sick and tired of being sick and tired they will take another route! Some people are addicted to pain and attention.
strangerbarry is right--they have to want help. Just be there when they are ready
