Thank you so much for the support everyone!! It really means a lot to me, and somehow makes this all more bearable. <3

The person in hospice care is only 30 years old, and has my very good friend for well over a decade. She has been suffering with stage 4 ovarian cancer for 6 months now. Chemo and Radiation did nothing for her. (3 years ago had stage 1 ovarian cancer which went away with chemo after 8 months, cancer-free for 1.5 years, now here we are.)

She is also my roommate. Her parents live only a 40 minutes away, but they live in a state where her insurance is not covered. She hasn’t started hospice yet, but it’s making me super anxious on top of all the grief/sadness, knowing that I’ll have to watch her die a little more each day. I feel selfish for even feeling that anxiety. How can I take care of my heart, while I stay a good friend to my dying friend?
