Sherry,
I have felt the same way....not sure if this suggestion will work well for you or not. As for me the greatest lesson of all that I learned during this journey is to never, never, never say to someone.."If there is something that I can do, please let me know" You know the standard answer that you pass along, when someone passes away, or is sick or, or, or. I made a promise to myself, to instead do what so many people (much smarter than I by the way) did when I was first diagnosed..people didn't say to me, let me know if I can do something, people just did stuff. Alot of "stuff" people made dinner, people watched my kids on weekends...someone made me a blanket, etc. etc.. Ok, so now for my suggestion, and back to the blanket. Have you ever seen the fleece blankets that people make where you tie together the fringe ends all around the blanket ? Well, they are really easy to make, you can buy the fleece when it is on sale, and for me, when I want to make a difference in someone's life I make a blanket. A very close friends father has weeks to live (pancreatic cancer), and I made him a navy and gray fleece blanket. He loved it ! I think instead of wanting to make a monumental difference, you can make small ones to the people in you life. Hope this helps
Sending love you way
