How friendships evolve when one person loses their sight

My best friend is going blind from a rare disease and I'm trying to be supportive but I keep saying the wrong things or being awkwardly helpful. We both know our friendship is changing as their needs change, and neither of us wants to acknowledge that I'm becoming more of a caregiver than just a friend.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Progressive disability is shifting relationship dynamics in ways that challenge both intimacy and boundaries.
