​You are walking down the street and in the distance you see someone you know coming towards you. They haven’t seen you.

 

You know that they have been given a terminal diagnosis, but have not seen them since that came to your knowledge.

 

What do you do?

-    cross the street

-    dive into a coffee shop hoping they don’t see you

-    come face to face with them and invite a conversation.

 

If you were to choose this option, how would you start?
