rare disease
reedtexass

my best friend/young sis has burkitt’s disease…a rare, almost always fatal blood cancer. because of immune isolation we cant even see each other and only have contact via cell and text. (she learned textng cause of me last year). sadly i dont know what to say to comfort her. she may leave behind a 9 yr old whom lost his grama last year too. do i prepare for another funeral? do i hold out for hope? someone needs to lead these guys thru this, but to do this i have to relegate to my love’s departure. any words?

    tell them that you are praying for them (Her and her family) I would hold out for hope but your not me… I would follow my heart. If you think that there is no possible way she can over come it then maybe you should prepare for a funeral.

    But I will pray for her :)

    Tell her how much you care for her and ask her exactly what it is that you can do to help comfort her. I’m sorry about your friend.

    always hold out hope. pray for strength to deal with whatever happens. tell her that you will always love her, thru life,death, and beyond. tell her that her spirit will always live in your soul and that she will never be forgotten…. my prayers are with you

    You all should pray and lean on God.

    sorry to read this but ask her what she wants and get her to talk about her fears. it’s frustrating when u see people around you being sad all the time and there is no one you can pour your heart out.
    i know this as one of my best mates (cancer mate) died last year. before her death she was surrounded by people who keeps telling her to fight it but no one is actually listening to what she wants to say or talk about her fears. so i took her out of her bed push her on a wheel chair have a look outside the hospital went for coffee and just talk about everything. when she was tired i push her back to the room. she was so happy to be out of all the negativity in the room. everyone was in denial. i dont know how much this would help your friend but just be there for her and it does make a difference.
