Thanks for your support -
Dear Rachael; I can not believe I would come here to see how upset a friend might be and not have support. I am so sad that you have this situation upon you right now. There is no way to explain how a person in pain is going to cry for help, nor is there any way for you to understand exactly how to be there or what you can do at that moment. If I can help you in any way it would be; You know your Mom pretty well, and if she is calling out for help that means HELP. The reason I say that is; Mom’s try to protect their young and don’t want to interrupt their children’s lives. I take her call as serious. Even if it isn’t that bad, you need to be there for her. I would want to do that if I could. I hope you want this for her too.
This is a very tough time but you know this has been coming, even though you never thought it would get to this time. Just be there, like you thought you would be many times before. There is no good time to retreat.

Oh, honey! How is your mom? Has she found any relief from the pain? How are you? I can only imagine how hard it is as a caretaker. I know you will continue to be there for her. I’m sending hugs and prayers for your whole family!
