(((pudd))) the only thing you can do is to be there for them-I answered a similar thread yesterday and described the times my parents died and my friend was there for me both times-just there; I guess the best way I can describe it was that she took on the role of my mother, anticipating my needs and looking after me in a really quiet, simple way
.If this is over the phone because you're far away from her. you could call regularily, say, once a week-at the same time-so she can anticipate your call and look forward to having someone around she can let it all out too.As for the comfort issue re-resurrection etc-that's a toughie if she's still has that belief and you don't.Perhaps steer clear of it and just concentrate on suporting her so she can support your other friend.
I'm so sorry Pudd. My friend is dying of cancer too.She has three children, but is so positive and an inspiration to everyone she puts me to shame. Your friend's are lucky to have you worring so much about them...don't worry about what to say-it'll come naturally..you're very easy to talk to and a really insightful, kind person.(((pudd)))
