A prayer please

For my best friend. She's just been diagnosed with ALS - also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. I feel so totally helpless about how to best help her! She's been my "touchstone" for so many years! I know WAY too much about this disease and I find myself cursing God for bringing this down on such a giving and loving woman! At the same time, I'm SO ANGRY that my best friend is going to be taken away, and then I feel guilty for feeling that way. This isn't about me damned it!
No responses needed - I just needed to vent. I'm so sad, I don't really know what to do ...
Kris

Hi Kris
Sorry to hear about your friend.
I don’t know anything about the disease but I googled and found this, not sure if it’s a sales pitch or a genuine alternative therapy, just thought anything might help.

Hope things look up.
Kind Regards
Barry

I'm with you on this.

Kris,
I'm so sorry for your best friend.  I'm sure that in some level it also helps that you know a lot about ALS.
Lots of vibes for you and prayers are on their way to her.
Best wishes,
Sanna
