I have found that 24 hours even one hour can make a difference in someone's life if not your own. Fate has a strange way of dealing those who don't deserve things a situation that seems unbearable and without hope.
True family is important - but there is more than that to live for - there is "you" !!
Your friend although going through some harsh treatments may only survive another year, it could be a year that either she can find peace - give others hope or merely just reach out to those around her and make a difference.
Those who do not have that choice I know wish they did - even if it was for another week rather than face the darkness or emptiness that death can bring, life was/is a gift that many take for granted. Giving up or standing strong is a testament to the character of anyone - hang on to each last moment because no one knows what medical breakthru or even a life touched that would make the entire journey meaningful.
Helping others or bettering one's self is an honorable goal for anyone - make that year count instead of getting caught up in self. There is a song, "live like you were dying" which comes to mind. Have her create a "bucket list" of things that she wants to do, that way she has purpose again to live, if anything to die without regrets.
