I suppose just being there for her but try to keep a smile inside your heart and on your face. Sometimes all we can do is tell them that we will be there for them no matter what, AND the most important thing is not to do like some do, keep them at a distance. I will never understand that but have seen it happen too many times. If she has a serious condition she will need a friend now more than ever before. It is all for her now, put your own feeling and fears on the back burner. I hope this helps.
