i did this from the other side for a friend last year. thing i wasnt ready for was how much i wanted to check on her without making it wierd, so i just asked her out loud how she was doing every now and then and that was fine.

Hes not being asked to diagnose anything. all hes doing is noticing somethings wrong and ringing, and saying that out loud makes it a much lower bar for him.

practical follow up, if he does end up ringing does he need to know what to say or do they take it from there. and do you walk him round the flat first, where things are, who else he should ring. i went through the same and the only thing id properly prepped was my own end of it

Funny how none of this turns up on a product page. tbf its all mystique, not one line about having someone there.

@Sam the moment you print have a friend with you, youve conceded theres something there to sit with, and the calm wellness framing needs there to not be. so it gets left to forums instead.
