This is so movingly beautiful...it seems the older we get, the more we are forced to face the loss and potential loss of those we most cherish in this world...this expresses the inconsolable grief so very well. Best wishes to your friend, and to you,

Your empathy and concern must be like a Bridge Over Troubled Water, Tinks. I am sure your friend will feel carried and sustained by your heartfelt taking of her Pain. There is no greater gift in friendship than this - the being there, the upholding, the standing alongside. Even when we feel we have no words, our presence silently watching with the person in trouble will be a tower of strength and comfort... and you have words a-plenty. Bless you, Love Kate xx
