Your words even from far away will be a comfort, & it sounds like you did what you could, prayed, talked, didn't shy away from this difficult thing. A friend with breast cancer (years ago) told me that some friends disappeared. Since that also happened to me with my husband, I'm no longer surprised, but sad that some cannot even face helping. Your care will be so important to your friend.

I felt your pain and your friends pain radiating through this post. Being separated from those we love at hard times can bring such a feeling of powerlessness. Glad you are trusting in the One who has the power. He is there even when support lacks from those who should be providing it, like your friend's husband. I am sure you were a blessing and a comfort to your friend as you listened to her and prayed with her over the phone.
