My friend is probably dying

[barefoot serpent]

sorry for the news Sam. Expect your friend to continue traversing the 'stages':

The stages Kubler-Ross identified are:

Denial (this isn't happening to me!)

Anger (why is this happening to me?)

Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...)

Depression (I don't care anymore)

Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)

It sounds like he already is.

One minute he's talking about writing up his will, and the next he's talking about moving to a new apartment, as if nothing is wrong.
