That is sad ~ I'm truly very sorry for taking the P.

May you have the strength to endure and may your friend find peace.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

Horrible for you MD. Been there many years ago when my bessy mate aged 34 succumbed to it.
Still make my head reel thinking about it to this day.

Take care and try keeping your chin up chick.

Horrid. A mate of mine was in a hospice with a few days to live. She was 40. When I went to leave she got really angry: 'You bastard, you can get in   your car and drive away....' etc. She had to say it I suppose  noooo:

Have to go and visit my friend in the hospice today - went last week and she was fairly coherent , but told today her death is imminent.

She has fought long and hard against her battle with cancer but she is still comparitively young.

Her husband is Australain and all is family are over there - hence he has leaned on us quite a lot. To see others in such pain ,physically and emotionally is so bloody hard.

When I am God I am going to change this  world

I am sorry to hear about your friend. These things happen more frequently as you get older and you and your peers all start to wear out and succumb to the inevitable.

It never gets any easier though, no matter how many times you see it.  noooo:
