hi @christine_m
One of the toughest parts of this whole shitfest is seeing “ friends” fail to step up .
That phrase “ fair weather friends” is grounded in truth.
Having said that , a couple of friends have well and truly stepped up and been amazingly supportive - for me the best friend has been a retired nurse who said to me “ once a nurse, always a nurse - caring is just what I do”
She rings me every day and takes great interest in all my medical appointments in a way my hubby ( who has otherwise been fabulous) doesn’t.
Also I have met some great ladies in this forum which has been wonderful.
Take care🌺
