Found out earlier today that a close (adult) friend, who we thought had beaten leukaemia is now terminal - 2-4 weeks... heard this via a friend, so have not spoken to her or her DH, but obviously we must do so, whether spoken or written. how do we start that conversation??? Not normally one to be stuck for words, but this is the first time I've been in anything like this situation and after all the joy in the past year of thinking she was over it, I cannot think of the words. Don't want to plan a speech, but equally if I simply pick up the phone and "go for it" I am worried that something completely tactless and stupid sounding will come out... Help me please, it may just spark a thought of clarity through the fuzzy blankness currently in my head.
