For nearly 3 decades I've been able to help people with their life issues, some quite severe, but a very dear friend of 43 years has been going through an extreme situation that is leaving me blank. She can't afford to seek out assistance herself, and I've recommended that she call the Crisis Hotline where I had volunteered for 3 years. However, I would like to see what information I can obtain, not only for her, but to help me to better understand about this type of situation, and how I can be a part of a successful solution. I will state the situation once there is a reply.
