A dear friend at work is having a difficult time, she has been for some time now - mostly since her husband was diagnosed with cancer/s. She's also had a multitude of other things going on in her life. They've been hit with sledge-hammers time and time and time again, and just when you think things are clearing off - something else sneaks up. It's so unfair, yes, I KNOW life isn't fair, but Jesus Christ - how much should one person have to deal with?
It makes me very blue to know that she is going through all of these things. She's not had the easiest life, but she is the most wonderful person you'll ever meet. God - my heart breaks for her. It's just been the last week or so, that it's all started getting to her and now she's not really coping. Work is her only distraction and even then, if you look at her too intensely when you ask "how are you?" she gets tears in her eyes.
She'll be alone next week while her husband is having treatment, and I'm trying to think of things I can do to help. Food I can make... something. It's so hard, there isn't any special kind of cookie that makes everything better - I don't even know what to say to her some days. How many times can you ask "and how are you" before the person gets tired of it?
If prayers and thoughts can do anything, I will surely be putting my weight into those. And by-God, if there is a cookie that can take the edge of cancer and lifes crap - I'll find it.
be happy while you can,
SB xx
