Not coping that well. My friend is dying. She's had chemo and all but is full of tumours including her brain. She is 20 years older than me, and a bit of a mother figure in my mind. She lives far away now, so I basically said goodbye over the phone today and that I loved her. She didn't say she loved me back but just to "take care." My husband says I shouldn't be hurt as she has brain cancer and is very foggy. Her husband was in the background telling her what to say a few times recently on the phone because she loses track of things. I couldn't hear him this time though.
Anyway, I loved her and will miss her. Her medically-assisted death is in a week. I don't know what else to do. Nothing I guess.
