A little more than a year ago a friend was diagnosed with cancer. I decided to be optimistic and treated it like it wasn't a big deal. She would go through some unpleasant chemo and then it would be over.
We have kind of a teasing relationship so I made a point of not treating her any differently, while other friends were more sympathetic and altered plans to suit her condition.
Now I've learned that treatments didn't work and they give her about a year. I feel so bad about the way I treated her that I haven't been able to face her since. How can I make amends? (link)

Face her. Go talk to her.
The cruelest response to someone in pain isn't to say the wrong thing, Saying the wrong thing can be fixed. "I'm sorry. I care. I just said the wrong thing."
It's to say nothing. Silence, you can never take back.
Go talk to her. Now.
