I would just really like some input on how to help a friend who has just been recently diagnosed. I know this sounds like such a silly question but I am totally at a loss here on what to do as far as giving her her space or smothering her too much with attention. She seems to be pulling away from everyone which I can understand but I want to know what I should do? What were some of the things that loved ones did for you that helped you the most especially in the first days?
Thanks for sharing and I admire you all for your strength and dignity.
