W got news this past week that her aunt (mom's sister) is not good. Aunt fell at her home and bruised her back. While she was in the hospital, found inoperable lung cancer. W is upset as she said A is wasting away and not eating much at all. Everyone feels the end is close. I was close to A as well, so this was very hard to hear. Told W I am praying for A and if she or the family needs anything, to let me know. Hard to draw a line on something like this and to know what to say or what not to say.
Yesterday (2/20) was the one year anniversary of W's father's passing. W took yesterday and today off from work. I did send W an email yesterday telling her I was thinking of her knowing it was a tough day. Also told her a funny story about her dad that always made her laugh. I saw W last night as we got our taxes done together...she mentioned she got the email, but that was it. Not much other dialogue except around the taxes.
Feeling pretty sad today and helpless. Wishing I could be there to comfort W. But I know I lost the right to do that by having the A. Just wish I could be with her.
