First time posting on Mumsnet, really would love some advise please .
My best friend has been battling cancer for years and last year was told it is terminal. She’s been pretty well and being able to do a lot but recently started to become more ill and less able to go places and do things to make memories with her children and friends and family
She’s in hospital at the moment and just feels horrible, she’s missing out on things that have been arranged and she’s pretty fed up, understandably.
As her close friend I just want to ‘fix’ it all for her but obviously there’s little I can do and that’s what I want to ask really, what things can I do to make it easier for her, little things that can make a big difference?
I’m seeing her this week in hospital and will be taking some of her favourite things and I thought maybe some wet wipes so she feels fresher and mints too but I just feel helpless and want to do as much as I can to make all this a bit easier for her. There must be something more I can do than get her bloody wet wipes and a pack of mints! I just can’t think of anything and not sure what else I can do to help
Not just while she’s in hospital but during all of the next part coming up
The past year I’ve helped with arranging things with her and memory books and places she’s always wanted to visit and things like that which helped her a lot but now we are past that point and I’m lost on how to help now
thank you
