Hi and thanks for reading this! My friends son is in intensive care and as I don't live close to the family I can't do useful things like taking over a casserole or walking the dog but I do want to be supportive.
She is constantly on my mind at the moment, I've been in contact every couple of days to ask how her son is & how she is. I've sent messages to let them know I'm thinking about them when I know he's got an operation / tests and if there is anything I can do but I don't want to keep pestering her. She has lots of friends / family close by and I know she must be exhausted and get fed up of relaying the same information again and again but because I'm not around, I don't want her to think that I don't care.
Does anybody have any advice on how to offer helpful and comforting support at a time like this?
Thank you!
