An old friend, a 48 year old woman I've known for 25 years, is dying very quickly of a nasty, fast growing cancer. Treatment has not been effective.
Tomorrow, I am going to the city where she lives to spend a week with her. She's in hospital, and I don't know if she has a week to live or 6 months, though I suspect it's a very short time.
I've read Elizabeth Kubler Ross's "On death and Dying" and some things from Buddhism, but I was hoping that you might pass on some ideas and insights you might have about being with someone who is dying.
No thought is too small, no idea insignifigant. I welcome anything anyone has to say.
Thanks very much
