Hello Gladys,
First of all, I am sorry to hear that you have a good friend that is experiencing a terminal illness. That is a heavy weight to carry for both of you. The steps that you took to be supportive and encouraging were no doubt very helpful to your dear friend.
This was a good example of a helping relationship because you were simply there for her, which is what we discussed last week. Sometimes it's not what we say, how we say it, or any of those things - just simply being with that person in the moment and letting them express their feelings.
You mentioned you wouldn't do anything different which is good, but I was wondering if you had connected her to any resources for support that might be helpful too? Just a thought. Either way, she was consoled. Have you had similar experiences that pertain to your work? I look forward to hearing about those in the near future.
Thank you,
Charise
