The person who once needed an audience may now need an afternoon alone.

People get remembered at the setting where they were loudest. Someone who once gathered everyone can lose that appetite, while friends who loved them for it keep arranging the old kind of evening and reading the tiredness as decline. Needs move without announcing themselves, and often nobody thinks to check.

Ask rather than assume what a good day looks like for someone now. Offer the quiet version and the busy version, and let them pick without having to explain why the answer changed.
