Hi ellie200055681 and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
I’m Anne, one of the Community Champions here on the Online Community, and I'm really sorry to hear about your friend.
The online community is divided into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the supporting someone with incurable cancer group as you'll then connect directly with others who are supporting someone with a life limiting cancer.
To join, just click on the link I've created and, once you've joined, you can start a new post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
Caring for someone can be very rewarding but also emotionally and physically exhausting. You might find this information from Macmillan on emotional support for carers and practical support for carers helpful to have a look through.
If you feel that talking things through would be helpful then the Support Line is available every day of the week from 8am to 8pm. It's free to call and the number is 0808 808 0000.
Sending ((hugs))
"Never regret a day in your life, good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience"
