Hi Monica!
I think the most important thing you can do to help is to be possitive all the
time!
Have a LOT of faith and know that if you do, everything is going to be fine.
Possitivism in everyone close to her and of course in her is a BIG help to make
things be better, and make her feel better.
Theres a reason for everything dont forget... and though sometimes we don't
really understand why things happen, believe me is for something. So try to let
her know that she's not alone by being with her helping with whatever YOU think
she may need, make her feel very loved, listen but don't ask too much... just
act... and try to always act possitive.... negative energy doesn't work in these
situations!
Well.... I hope it helps...
I'll keep you in my mind and prayers!

My SIL has just been diagnosed with Leukemia and will be starting
Chemo today or tomorrow. As of last night, they have not identified
exactly which type she has.

To make matters much worse, she is 31 weeks pregnant. Clearly she and
my brother (as well as our whole family) are very frightened.

I am actually looking for advice as to how to be most helpful to them.
Was there anything that friends or family did for you or said to you
that you found helpful/strengthening/comforting? My SIL is a very
private person and doesn't want a lot of visitors, which I respect.

Thank you for any advice you have to offer.

Blessings,
Monica
