Konichiwaneko is absolutely correct
It's all about the patient's mental state. If they just sit around and cry and get sad, then it will only be worse for them and worse for everybody.
However, if they go out, have fun, and don't let anything get in their way, they will live a much happier and possibly longer life. I've seen several of my relatives go downhill fast because they weren't happy and optimistic. They gave up in every aspect and lost it all.
By all means, don't let this happen to your friend's mom.
