captain~~~I think you are doing something right for your friends, you care about them very much. Let your friend who lost her mother talk all she wants to...it really helps in the grieving process. Occasionally remind her of something "sweet" or "funny" about her mom..(if you knew her mom)Mainly, just listen and show her that you care. For the friend that is about to lose her mom. I imagine that she is pretty scared. You might ease into a conversation about being fearful and let her talk out some of her inner thoughts. I think you are a fabulous friend to care so much for these women. I wish you the best. Pat
