What to say to a friend who is dying?
She has a few weeks left. Just began hospice. Had brain tumors so she is a bit dulled and I am not sure how much she either understands or feels.
Usually I can empath myself right into any situation, but this time Im really at a loss. Im too much in shock that she is leaving the planet. She's been my best friend for decades.
I can only talk to her over the phone, she lives in another country. Am trying to get her husband to get Skype.
Of course I tell her that I love her.
I don't think its great to tell her about my survivors guilt, which Ive never felt before, but this time it caught me by surprise. Or my anger and despair at her leaving.
She says she feels strong and peaceful, meanwhile her husband and I are bawling our eyes out and petrified.
what to say, what to say...
