How Do You Support A Friend Whose Child Has Cancer?
• Be there for your friend. • Visit your friend and her child at the hospital. • Buy presents to cheer up the child. • Give your friend a big hug to show that you care. • Pray with your friend for the child. • Tell your friend to take good care of herself first. • Do research on the specific type of cancer and print the articles for your friend. • Bring your friend and the child healthy food during their stay at the hospital. • Listen if your friend wants to talk. • Help to babysit your friend’s other kids if she has other kids. • Help your friend with transportation if she is too tired to drive after spending sleepless nights at the hospital. • Call and ask your friend how she (not just the child) is doing from time to time. • Give positive encouragement at all times. Help to raise funds for cancer research.
