Reply #19: Pinky sounds wonderful, and I wish her the best. . . [View All]

I would recommend a book for you and her to read: "Kitchen Table Wisdom" (I forgot the name of the author, but she is a wonderful author, a Medical Doctor, and a woman who has lived with deadly diseases for many years).

What I remember the most in that book is this: When one faces a life threatening illness, one faces not only a challenge, but an opportunity. . .the opportunity to heal. This doesn't mean that everyone will always be healed. . but healing has many meaning: One's body can heal, but one soul can die. Or one's soul can heal, but the body die. Or both the soul and the body can heal.

I hope your friend will heal. . .in every way that is most meaningful for her.
