She had breast cancer 5 years ago and had a mastectomy. Both breast were removed, and she was supposedly in remission. She went to the doctor last week and they found that the cancer had indeed spread. It is now in her bones. Everywhere! They said it was in her legs, knees, hips, shoulders, and skull.
I know there is nothing they can do for her medically. But prayers of comfort and peace for her would be appreciated.
The main thing I am asking for though is prayers for her husband. They have been married a very long time and he loves her very much, but he has always had a hard time showing that. He comes across in the wrong way when he tries to talk to her even though his intentions are good. Her husband talks with my husband on a daily basis. He knows he has a problem being sensitive and is asking my husband for advice on what to say to his wife and how to act. So if you could pray, lite candles, or whatever it is that your spiritually guides you to do for him to help guide him through this with his wife I would be most greatful.
Ugh... cancer... it's so nasty... Tends to bring out the worst in everybody.
My thoughts and prayers are with your friend and her husband.
Addy, if you wouldn't mind PMing me their names, I'll add them to our Reiki box.

There is nothing worse then hearing someone you love have a time limit put on their life. nothing.
You, and your friend and her husband are in my thoughts and prayers.
If you need anything at all Addy, I am here for you. I have been though this before and the road ahead will not be an easy one. Try to be strong for your friend... but do not be afraid to tell her how much she means to you.

Sending love and strength to you all. At least she has the time to let all those in her life know what they mean to her, and everyone in her life can let her know how important she is to them. May her road be as smooth as it can in a situation like this.

It's always hard to hear that news...but here's a suggestion, spend as much time reminiscing as possible with them, and spend as much time sorting out personal baggage, and let them talk...a lot. Try to make them as comfortable as possible, so that when they pass, things are easier for them, as easy as it can be I guess.
That being said, I'm sending positive vibes, I hope she has a blast before she passes on. I'd have one hell of a funeral for myself, and invite some friends, and throw a hell of a party! Make my funeral what I'd want it to be!
you and your friend and her husband are in my thoughts..I shall light a candle for them if you need anything were here for you! Cancer is a horrible thing, Ive been through it with a close family friend..keep your chin up..and know were all here for you..
Once upon a time in broken dreams Reflection's that I can't face So hold your breath and make a wish for me Take me to a better place
~Blessed Be~
