I'm not going to take time for my friend during a time of loss
Don't you think your friend needs you?
My friend is depressed enough as it is, he doesn't need me to make a bad situation worse
You can think you can't help. But you can help your friend while they're grieving just by being there.
I think being thee will just make things worse for him.
You should still try at least. It is your friend we're talking about.
