my best friend's mom is dying what should I do???
So.. um. My best friend is starting the last year of high school this year, and her mom is very sick and is going to die. Lately she has been in a very bad psychological state, depressed and stuff like that. She has been drinking quite a lot, and when she was drunk the other day she started telling me stuff like she doesn't know what to do if her mother dies, and half her life is going to go away and stuff like that. She also said she's happy she has all of us (her friends) and stuff, but generally she sounded like she was really in a horrible mental state.
Can you please give me advice on what I can do?

Well, my best friend's father passed away last November. It wasn't known like your friend knows, but maybe my situation can help.
The best thing you can do is be a friend. Obviously, she'll need her friends to be there for her to just listen to her and be there, even if you have nothing to say, but she also will need time to be alone and think.
For now, tell your friend to spend as much time with her mother as possible, which I hope she will.
Once her mother is gone, be a good friend. Try to get her mind off of it, but at the same time, if she wants to talk about it, by all means do.
I guess my advice is for you to be there for her and be as good of a friend as you can.

Hi
Two of my friends are kind of going through the same thing. There Grandmothers, who are the ones who raised them through out there lives are getting ready to pass away. You just have to keep close to her, let her know you love her. Make sure she has as much love as she can handle, and you should probable try to get her to brake down with out alcohol. It's better that way. She needs to be close to the ones who love her the most. She's going to hurt when the time of her moms death does come, but she's going to be okay. Death is apart of life, and you must explain to her once her mother does pass on that she's in a better place and not in so much pain. I mean I just reasontly lost my Dad in a car crash we we're in together, so I know it hurts to lose the ones you love the most. So just keep her positive, and keep close, make sure you take care of her. Don't let her become a drunk, try to find other things to keep her mind off of the subject of her mother dieing. Unless you're deffently ready to have her brake down for you. : ) Which she needs to do, to get all of it out there so she can have a better understanding of everything.
Good Luck
And Stay a Good Friend!

my moms dying too.
it's the hardest thign i've ever gone through, and i've been through alot
all i can say is that you need to be there for her
and have her around her mom,
get her to spend as much time with her mommy as possible,
it'll be worse if she doesnt spend time before her mom passes
i know this wasnt very helpful
but if you take her to a therapist it might help
inform her of like, her mom's condition.
let her know why she's dying and everything
sometimes it helps to understand. <3
