Wishing I could still be of help to her

I have a dear friend who has Lupus. I wish there was more known about this disease and how it works, to give her some relieve. I fear for her all the time. Especially right now, she seems to be getting worse and not better, no matter what regime of meds her specialist puts her on. I wish I did not have to move away from her. I wish I was still by her so I could help her with things as simple as grocery shopping, which just wears her out now a days. I wish she had someone living with her to help her out, basically I wish she wasn't single but had a wonderful husband to help pick up the loose ends on the days that her disease puts her in bed all day. Someone who could work while she stays at home so that she will not have to worry about finances and making sure she has Health Insurance. Sometimes I wonder (and I know she does too) why her? Then we both have to remember that God never gives us more than we can handle. Sometimes the trials He allows to be placed in our paths are to make us stronger and others are a test of our faith in Him. We just need to lean on Him a little hard so that we can make it through, our reward will be given to us in Heaven.
