Hi! Okay so i have a SP who lives in another state. Recently his grandma was diagnosed with a terminally ill. So he reached out ( we talk pretty much everyday on the phone/FT) and be basically said “hey I’m sorry if I’m distance this happened and I’m sorry if it’s you putting in more work. I don’t want to lose you or our friendship”.

So my question is even thought i view this person romantically - they are my friend. Am i allowed to reach out? Because typically anyone in my life going thru this type of grief I’d reach out to
It’s weird because the last week or two they’ve been a bit more distant. Less FaceTime calls, and txt message, and i was wondering how i could be helpful but also atyrwct this person.

Thanks for any help!
