This past Rememberance Day, my best friends mom passed away. She has been ill for a very long time and finally gave up the battle at 7pm. I am heart broken, I have known my friend for over 14 years and because we have known each other for so long, I had a chance to become really close with her and her mom. I still can't believe that my friend is younger than me and she doesn't have a mother any more. I am so very proud of the way that she has been handling things lately, I know that if it was me I would have fallen apart. I can't believe that her mom won't be here to watch her get married or have children of her own. Going through this has made me realize just how very lucky I am to have my mother. I love my mom more than anything, she is much more than my mom, she is my best friend. I can't imagion what my friend must be going through right now, especially with Christmas just around the corner. I want to do something nice for her but I am not sure what. Any suggestions? What would you do in this situation?

I t would be good if you can stay beside her for awhile. With some people, sadness creeps in slowly and they cry behind the curtains. Give her your arms if she needs to cry, and let her do it for awhile. The worst sadness is when it's time to clean up and clear her things away. When my dad passed away 3 years ago, I always remind myself that dad is in heaven now, and smiling at me. No more pain. And one day we will see each other again. Good luck.
