I would like to know if anyone on here has had any success dealing with people that have suffered strokes or people that have cancer. Someone I know was an extremely talented artist, but then suffered a stroke that left her partially paralyzed. It hurts me so much to see her like that and not be able to resume her painting. I'm trying to find as many ways as possible to help her. Also, my grandmother has bone marrow cancer which has become active after being dormant for almost 18 years. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to help her. It hurts me so much to hear her crying in pain at random points during the night, sounding so helpless. I can't even look at her when she's going through it for fear that I might have an emotional overload -- just hearing it is enough to make my heart hurt.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
