How was her outlook on life before her diagnosis. Was she usually optimistic,
or did she see the glass as half empty?

I think all of us have trouble at first trying to digest the information. I
don't talk about dying much, but I do think about it more. Some people feel
more comfortable expressing their feelings.

I think the best thing she can do, and you can help her do, is to become
better informed about her illness and the treatment options. There is tons of
info on the internet. She should also check out the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society. They have support groups which meet regularly, along with other
services.

Maybe the very best thing you can do is to be supportive and let her vent.
I'm sure it becomes frustrating and depressing for you at times, but keep
remembering how much you're helping her. And eventually she'll be able to come
to terms with her diagnosis. I don't remember how many months it took me. It
just happened.

Hi everyone, and I recently had a friend who was diagnosed with
leukemia. She often talks about dying, and does not seem to have a
great outlook on things. Is there anyway I can make her feel better?
Thanks
