My friend is dying but I'm happy that I have been able to see her several times and hope she will be able to visit at some point again soon. I had to tell her today that the husband of our good friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer today as well. Our friend also asked me to tell our "old" friends (90 and 83), which I agreed to do, of course. I not only am so sad myself, but feel so much compassion for these others who are sick and old and still have to get sad news. I'm self medicating tonight and I promise tomorrow I will not. Actually I'm stopping now and going to bed.
Love, elly
Sleep well.

Sadness is a part of everyone's life. I try to just accept it and immediately move on to something better. Your dying friends are lucky to know you, and think how fortunate your other old friends are to have you in their lives to deliver sad news with the great compassion only you have.
