Sending love

Someone close to me is really suffering and I am struggling to help. I wish more than anything I could take away their pain and anguish, but I can’t. I am trying to be here and support. It’s all consuming. Day and night. Alarming and scary. I wish I could do more. The other person who should be helping is not only absent but making things worse, why does that not surprise me? On the other hand someone I wasn’t sure would help, rose to the challenge and was an absolute star at a critical moment.
