What do you do when you don't know what to do?

Having girlfriends is great, right? When it is not so great? When you have a girlfriend that you really care about and she is dealing with bad stuff. As a friend, what do you do?

My friend Allison is a jock. She works out six to seven days/week, eats right, does all the things we're supposed to do. But she's battling cancer again and she isn't supposed to do that.

One of my first reactions to the news was - What do I do? How can I be the best friend possible? What can I say/do to make things better? And, to figure these big questions out, I wanted to be around my girlfriends and ask them. We all learn from each other. That's definitely the beauty of having great girlfriends - we share what we learn from make-up tips, shoe sales to big stuff like how to care for our families and friends, dealing with big challenges and handling life with grace and love.

I'd love your response. What can I do to be there for her? What have you done, or others have done for you, to help and show that you really care? Thanks for caring and helping me show how much I care as well.
