Say something like you are grateful for the time you had to share your friendship.
If you love her,tell her now. Don't leave it til later.
It's a sad task. Good luck!

Love is boundless. No matter where we are in God's creation, the bond of love connects us. Nothing can break that bond. Not time, not space, not even a separate existence. I am with you always in the love that I have for you. In my love I send you energy to face what you need to face, to be strong and know God will not fail you for His love is even greater than mine. I will stand strong beside you and give you what I can to help see you through while my heart sings for you these words, "May the blessings be".
Use any part of this or none of it. You are free to personalize it with your own words if you wish. Hugs to you and strength to your friend.

Dollybird - don't be afraid of describing your own feelings. You are allowed to say things like 'I find this so difficult to talk about' or 'I'm not very good at talking about....' or even I don't know what to say' - she will understand and know how it hurts. Ask her if she wants to talk and be there to listen. If she crys you are allowed to cry, this may also help her. To acknowledge these feelings between you can improve communication between you, and help you understand what your friend is feeling it also gives her permission to describe her own feelings and get spiritual help for her if she needs it. Support yourself and get help if you need it.

Thats a tough one, I feel for you and everyone that has to and has faced this issue. I remember once asking "so ...how ya doin?" and realizing as my lips were moving what a complete ass I had just made of myself. I guess the answer to this has to come directly from the core of your heart. Telling her what kind of a person she is to you and how she has touched your life. Thanking her for being who she is and how much she means to you.I told my grandmother to let God know I play the 6/49 lottery and we shared a nice chuckle. The funny thing is that a few months after she had passed I opened a fortune cookie that said any fortune to come in my life would be earned. Kinda got the point and had another good chuckle over that...she remembered;) I wish you well and my heart goes out to you.

Whatever you want to say to her - say it now - use this opportunity. An extremely dear friend of mine passed away yesterday - so unexpected - I am totally devastated and every time I go over our talking together it brings tears, I keep hearing her voice and seeing her face and at moments in disbelieve - you have the chance to say just what you feel and asTommy says do it all while you can. I sympathise.

MY SPECIAL FRIEND
Of all my friends, I love you best.
We have spent many beautiful
moments together, sharing our
most intimate thoughts and feelings.
We have a special bond,
which I hold close to my heart.....
To know that I can come to you and not
be judged, but to be comforted
and uplifted when I' am feeling down,
has meant so much to me.....
You give so much of yourself,
never asking for anything
in return. Thank you for being,
My Special Friend.....

Holy ...the Big Guy upstairs must know something about you that your not quite aware of. We never get more than we can handle, I'm sure at times you must think He must have you confused for someone else. Life does suck sometimes and at other times it's so wonderful to be alive. Every Time I think things are awful I hear someone else's story and realize how lucky I am no matter what. My prayers are with you, your friends and your husband. I agree that sometimes the reality of a persons illness seems unfair to share but it's all part of the process. She probably will withdraw and be very angry, maybe denial and then her fight will kick in. The truth isn't always a means to an end for people but a boot of reality that makes you want to be even more alive than you have ever been. Give her a few days to let this sink in, she will come around and want her friends close as she accepts her new reality. At some point in all of our lives we will have to accept our new realities. It's all part of the cycle of life. I send you much love and light. A HUGE hug.
