    do you remember me telling you about my friend who's son was in intensive care?

    She put on FB yesterday that he was home so I congratulated her-however, the reason they are home is because the hospital can't do anything for him anymore...they are sending him home to spend what time he has left with his family and it broke my heart-I feel so sad for them.


    I also seemed to have lost a friend again over night....

    Hugs hun, you werent to know it wasnt good news :grouphug:

    Shame about losing the friend.....not fixable?

    Always the way Bunny-you just feel so helpless....
    Can you take a casserole type-easily reheated meal over so they don't have to cook one night? Offer to do the ironing/cleaning/supermarket shop ,just to ease some of the practicalities..?? Just let them know you are ready,willing and able.Thats all you can do..and let them talk if they want to..
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
