A good friend of mine just found out that her father has stage 3 brain cancer and was given about 8 to 18 months. I've just felt horrible all day. I don't know if it's knowing what she's likely going through or the fact that I could one day have to go through that with someone in my family. There is this knot in my stomach that I can't make go away.
And worst of all, I feel totally helpless. I don't know what I can say to someone in that position. "Sorry" doesn't really seem to mean much at this point. Life feels like it can be so cruel sometimes.
