How can I support my friend?
| Wed, 08-20-2008 - 5:58pm |
My dear friend has been diagnosed with stage 1V Ovarian Cancer that has already spread throughout her body. She has a colostomy bag, and starts Chemo in a few weeks. The doctors told her she has one year to live. I'm not sure how else to support her emotionally.Except to tell her I love her, and be there when I can for physical support. I am at a loss on what to say, I told her I don't accept the one year deadline and instigate plans for visiting..she lives 2 hours away. I am so confused myself and devastated over her diagnosis. I know I need to get a grip over my own emotions. When I talk to her on the phone I just fight bursting into tears. I have always been strong, but with this I am devastated. How do I help her through this? What words can I say that would uplift her?
Thank you for any advice!
