Maybe just someone to talk to on a weekly basis. I've been in this situation too. I've had situations where I've had it. opportunity to talk to people, to take the burdens off my shoulders by talking to people who do not necessarily have to be members of your family or people you know. It is important for me to be aware of this and to take a step forward is that I'm sorry for her.

I wish I could give her a hug because I know how it feels, as I said I've been there too. We both have different personalities and people in general are different. to things differently. You just have to let her handle it the way she wants it, the way she thinks is the best for her, that's the only thing I can say. I believe she is doing her best."
