Ranger, I wonder where your friend lives? In England we have Admiral Nurses who are there to support the carer. I had an admiral nurse for a year but her funding has been axed ( I am actively trying to raise awareness to try to get her back)however she was a fantastic help for my being able to cope. There is a national helpline that I can phone but it is not quite the same as chatting over a cup of coffee!

Please tell your friend to feel free to pm me and I will give her my e mail address if she thinks I can help, I am sure we will have a lot of problems in comman.
