My goodness Dory, that is just so spot on. I am so sorry you have come to know this journey so well. So very sorry hun.
Starfish, you are a precious friend and I hope your friend heals with the time she needs.
My advice is to listen to her....I know that seems vague but it has been my biggest issue. I have been very open about what i need and that is space and time. That has not always been respected. It is very easy to fall into the trap of thinking she might be going mad...and to some extent that is true. She needs to hear that she is normal, this is all normal. As tragic as it is, she is normal and what she is feeling is normal. But i couldn't agree more with Dory, actions speak louder than words. By space i mean space but not to be forgotten either. There will be a lot of damned if you do and damned if you don't so dory's advice on being strong and patient with your friend could not me more accurate.
take care of yourself hun and what ever you do, be honest enough with yourself and your friend that if you get stuck and don't know what to do, say so, don't give up and let it go. She already feel like her world is falling apart.
Love HM xoox
