My condolences at your loss. I think it is a very important message that you have delivered to other posters. Don't worry about not saying the "right" things. Be there for your friends in time of need. When I had cancer some years back I had some friends who visited me and some who stayed away. Please if you have friends or family who are ill or suffering do not avoid them because you are uncomfortable. If you have questions, ask questions. The most important thing it to be there for support.

You truly have great parents and a couple of great friends to be there for you in your time of need.

Best of luck to you in the days ahead.
