Strokes are lame.

Strokes are mini brain damage. Females deal with it easier than males.
Nothing to be happy about when your world has been cut to pieces. Not enough emotional control left to put your thought in context to those around you. Not enough concentration to overcome the anxiety. Nothing anyone can do to you so why give a $hitt about anything else you do while waiting to be planted. Nothing to fear 'cause what's the worst that can happen?
the only thing family and friends can do is be patient, never interrupt or criticize, wait for him to focus on something/anything and be ready to assist that focus.
and help yourself neutralize routine "guilt" when a loved one passes by loving him all the more while you still have time
only my take
