i got talking with my friend yesterday and he told me about his mother's failing health. she's suffering from cancer and things are really going bad financially and psycologically for them. i hate to see people hurt or cry especially in a situation where i cant help.

Yes, there are so many sad situations around us. Some of us feel the pain of people. we want to help. we want to make things better for them but often we are helpless as to what we can do. However, we can all do something. We can sympathize. We can be there. We can help a bit. So do the best you can and it might just be a lot more than the other person expected. It might just be enough so that they don't despair. Don't worry about what you can't do but be happy in what you can do!

you are a kind man and i am feeling happy to see a man like you in this century. your prayers may change your friend's mother condition and don't lose hope. god is with you and don't feel that you can't help him financially. you can help him physically by accompanying your friend and helping him in taking care of his mother.

You are a good man,I know why you feel sad. Cancer is a fatal disease,we maybe spend huge amount money to keep the patient live longer.The individual is hard to burden that,we can get help from the social service agency,does you friend's mother has hospitalization insurance? That may work. God bless you!
