So sorry to hear this.
I know it will be hard, but try to laugh each time you see her. Of course there are times you will cry, but it will be a comfort to you both thinking of each other smile.
Also don't hold back, you don't want any regrets.

If your friend isnt having visitors at the moment perhaps you could have something delivered to her - like the wedding pressie; (or some other pressie; a food hamper etc) just so that she knows that you're thinking of her at this time..?

Quillion, take comfort in the knowledge that you have seen your friend, and that she is enjoying her time as a married woman. It takes a special kind of person to bravely face their future they way she & her husband are doing.
I lost both my parents to cancer - dad in 1991 & mum in 2005. It is hard at the time, but you have an opportunity to accept the inevitable, and come to terms with it a little. It's like starting the grieving process a bit early.
Why not write a letter for her husband to read to her? You can then express your feelings without disturbing them with a visit.
Thinking of you.

Hi Quillion,
Sorry about your friend.
I like the idea of a wedding present too.
If they are long standing friends, do you have photographs of both of them? Or can you get photos from relatives?
You could make a photobook that she could enjoy now and remember the good times, and it would leave him with something nice to remember her by when the grief eases and he can bear to.Manners make the man...:D0 -
You are all so brilliant.
I was just saying to my husband that we have had loads or reply's to a post which was made when i was at my lowest only just having found out there was nothing that could be done for my friend.
I am so in awe at your replies and kindness you have all shown me be it of past experience or just your ideas and thoughts.
I do hope i get to see my friend but if not i have great memories that i will treasure for ever. We will all be there for her husband and her family when the enevitable happens..
Once again Thank You all so very very much:beer: Officially Debt Free Nov 2012 :beer:0 -

So very sorry to hear this Quillion. ((((hugs))))
Remember, you need some TLC too, I'm not doubting you won't get it, just don't try and be superwoman.
She was honoured to have a caring, loving friend in you, you are honoured with memories of her.
Thinking of you all and wishing you find comfort in each other.
