- Welcome to the life of a REAL 20-something Hollywood Hottie -
What do you say to someone who’s lost their mom? How do you comfort or ease their pain? Can you?
One of my favorite people in the whole world lost her mom yesterday to that evil “c” word. And there’s nothing that I can do for her but listen. Through a single text message, our relationship has changed. Not better, not worse. Just different. I can’t imagine her feelings of loss… The emotions that she must be going through. I feel for her so much. Her mother was an incredible woman who battled cancer for years, and boy did she put up a fight! I wish I had gotten to meet her. She ran a blog that documented her struggle (mylifewithcancer.com) and actually inspired me to dive into the blog thing too. If she could write about her ordeal so honestly, I could write about my everyday boring life honestly. And through her blog, I feel like I knew her… Or knew parts of her. I wish I could know more. Lacey, if you ever read this, I love you and I’m here.

I am so sorry for your friend. My prayers will be with her and her family. I have lost two family members in the last two years to cancer, so I understand her struggle, as much as a complete stranger can I think. Knowing she has a great friend in you will be helpful, as she will need every bit of love she can get and you never know when your one or few kind words will be the ones that help her rise above/get through one of the many moments of grief she will have.
Help her to focus on the positives about her mom for now and LATER (she won’t want to hear it for quite some time probably) help her remember everything happens for a reason, good and bad, and good things will come again in time.
I know you’ll be there for her Laur. You are an amazing friend!
Thanks Veronica!
That was definitely very helpful. I only hope that I don’t say the wrong thing, you know? Lacey is a strong girl, but she’s so young (18) and I just worry about her. She’ll never be the same, and that’s a scary thought because she’s so wonderful. Just like you
I’m sorry that you lost two family members as well 
If you ever wanna talk about it, you know I’m here 
Thanks Lauren. I know you’re always there and it’s a great relief knowing that. I’m sure Lacey feels the same way. And with great friends/family and support, I doubt she will stop being so wonderful.
Don’t worry about saying the wrong thing. Trust your heart and you won’t. And if you still aren’t sure what to say, remember “I’m here for you” and even in the silence just being there is a huge support. Even if you can’t be there in person, she knows you’re there.
Thanks Veronica! See, I knew you getting a blog would be awesome – you always have such fabulous advice! You should write an advice column on top of the 50 zillion other things you do
LOL. Yeah, I’ll get on that advice column thing…NOT. hehe.
I’m glad you think my advice is great but I’m not sure Joe Shmo (or Jill) would think so.
Plus the 50 zillion other things are keeping me busy enough!
But I’m here for you anytime you need me, 50 zillion other things or not, you’ll be priority 1!
