I know exactly what you are going thru and what you are facing. My best friend of over 25 yrs recently died of an aggressive cancer that attacked his brain and my partner and I were there every step of the way. I dont know how, but you do cope, you help however and whereever you can, by simply watching his favorite tv show with him to the harder holding his hand when he has finally gone blind, and helping him with daily life acts that seem so simple but to him nave become so hard. Everything you do for your friend will be easy to do because you are not doing it for you or for what it will achieve, you are doing it for your friend and beleive me, we did some of the hardest things of our lives but at the time we wanted no one else to do them. Your friend will go through bad times and good times, dont be afraid to discuss whatis happening and let her know that it doesnt matter how rocky the road will get you will be there.The most important thing you can ddo for her is communicate with her and and sometimes that isnt verbal at all. Best of luck and it does take time to heal after, it has been nearly 2 years for us and I still miss him like a physical ache,but i comfort myself with the knowledge that he knew he could count on me to the final day. Please keep in touch cos talking bout your feelings does help cope every day.
