Hi Eve,

Is it possible to go visit her? If you do, the point is to be a help, and not a burden. Hold her hand through the procedure (sometimes the patient is actually conscious for this), stay in a hotel and be her support system at home.

If you can’t leave, you can send care packages to her. Care packages to her friends and family at home would be wonderful too. You can also see what services the hospital has and give her a gift that way. Some cancer centers have gift shops (head scarves) and even Reiki treatments.

It may not seem like you’re doing much, but these small things are actually immeasurable.

And if you do lose her (lost my dad in a cancer center), at least for me, you almost feel like they’re still around. On a spiritual level, they are.

If you don’t hear from her online as much, don’t freak out. Sometimes no news is good news. She might simply be resting and recovering.

I agree with communicating with a contact person.

Blessings,

Inky
