Question Posted Wednesday December 28 2005, 3:37 pm
My friend Kim is really down because her mom just found out that she has cancer. I had her over to my house to make her feel better, but I don't think it helped that much. I don't know what else to do to make her feel better. What should I do?

Let her know if she needs anything, a shoulder to cry on, you're there for her. That if she ever needs to talk about it, that you'll listen and talk to her about it. Don't mention it too much around her though. But, if she looks sad or isn't talking that much, that's when she needs you the most.
Try inviting her over and watching a funny movie, to make her laugh, make some popcorn too.
Or take her out to dinner or something. Try to get her mind off things for awhile. But, don't do it too much, she needs to spend some time with her family too. But, when it feels like she needs to escape from things, tell her that she can come over when she needs to.
I hope this helps and if you need anything else, leave a message in my inbox.

This is when she needs you most, so just talk to her alot and give her lots of attention. Try putting yourself in her shoes and think of what you would want your friend to do to help..
