Ok, as someone who has a mom who is ill with cancer and a father who is dead, I know how he feels. It's VERY overwhelming! Honestly, I think the last thing he is worrying about right now is a relationship. Don't take it so personal, its just the circumstances of everything going on. His mind is on his parents, and trust me, that can take up a lot of time! Right now they are his first priority.

All you can really do is offer to be there for him if he ever needs anything and to just let him have his space. I know I have isolated a few people in the process of dealing with my dad's death and my mom's illness, but its just how I cope. I keep thinking about how limited time is with my mom. I really had a wakeup call when losing my dad suddenly two yrs ago. So, I feel this time with my mom is VERY important! I feel I have the rest of my life for anyone else.

I think this is how he feels. He's going thru alot, and just try not to take it personal. Ok? Just give him time and space.
