Hi to you all,
I just want to introduce myself. My name is Kylie. I joined this page because a really good friend of mine is going through hell. She lost her mum a year ago from cancer, and today is the anniversary of the funeral. She is also a full time carer for her husband who is also dying from cancer. He is in a bad way.
I feel so bad for her. Shes still grieving her mum a lot, but has to be strong for her husband, who needs her. She feels that she can not let herself show her pain because everyone needs her. Her husband is up several times a night in pain so she gets no sleep. She is reasonably strong although all she goes through. I know inside she is a mess.
I just would like to ask if anyone has any suggestions of any charities that offer help for families who are going through cancer. She is too ashamed to ask for help, this is why I think she needs a friend to try do something. I would like to see her and her husband have a nice holiday or something before he passes away. I just want to do something nice for her. I just cant seem to find anything. I find lots of places that help children who have cancer and even breast cancer patients, but not just general patients.
I think it would be so nice for her to have a break or something. I just don't know where to start. She is an amazing person. She just struggles through, even though I know its killing her, she said she has no choice. Shes been going through this for four years now, with no relief and then losing her mum a year ago,, she has come to my house and broken down today, I think its really starting to take its toll on her. I feel so helpless, I can see how much she is suffering but I don't know how to help.
If anyone can suggest anything that would be great.
Cheers Kylie
