I'm in shock. Middle of the night. Just heard that my dear friend, who is like a sister to me, has stage 4 cancer. She lives in Canada, 3000 miles away and we mostly communicate by text messaging and phone calls.
I can't think, I can't sleep, and have a demanding day ahead, trying to support two other friends who live close to me. It all feels too much. I want to support my friend in Canada, but at the moment I feel at a loss.
I'd really value any response, advice, etc. Thank you.
