Thanks again for the support FY. I have an update generally on W. We were talking today when I dropped S things off and she told me she has been tested and is going though menopause. Had sleepless nights, sweats etc etc. She is also worried re lumps on her breasts and will need to be tested.

She then went on to say she has started with panic attacks (she got these many yrs ago) and generally feels run down.

I listened and validated a lot and when I left initated a hug (to which she seemed receptive although turned her head as we moved in to avoid eye contact).

I am worried about her as she also seemed very fidgety with her hands and generally not right. Do I offer her support, to take her to hospital etc? My instinct is to take care of her but I am worried she wld think it is because I have other motives and pull back. My only motive here is that she is okay and does not go through this alone.

Also, has anyone got any links to good resources on menopause?
