I Had Cancer, Help your Friends who have Cancer | BlogTalkRadio, Mailet Lopez
November 17, 2011 – 8:12 am
Sometimes it’s tough to be the kind of friend you’d like to have – especially when your friend has cancer. That goes beyond tough – that’s overwhelmingly painful to see and to know the right thing to do for them. That’s why we need girlfriend advice on how to be a friend to a friend with cancer.
MAILET LOPEZ has been there. She’s been through cancer and has seen the reaction that friends had to this terrible disease. She’s an amazing survivor and founder of ‘I Had Cancer‘ – a social support network for cancer fighters, survivors and supporters.
Thankfully Mailet has some great Read More »

Attitude of Gratitude | Girlfriends to the rescue!
November 14, 2011 – 11:57 pm
Do you have an attitude of gratitude? Are you feeling grateful, thankful, blessed? Let’s talk about that …
Veteran’s Day … thankful for the brave women and men who have fought for our freedom, for the friends and family who have sacrificed their beloved to keep us safe and for the leaders who watch out over us. It’s a good time to remember that #LifeIsGood – right?
Thanksgiving … thankful for the pilgrims and travelers, the brave and the (sorry to say it, but possibly true) stupid who got on boats and found there way here. Grateful for the tradition they started of being appreciative of the little things in life … a little corn, a small bird to feast on, a warm hut to sleep in. Things we now take for granted – it’s great to be reminded to be grateful.
Maybe it’s Read More »

The Intimacy of Friendship – a lesson from Elizabeth Edwards
December 16, 2010 – 4:18 pm
“Does Elizabeth Edwards represent the universal Everywoman Friend, the woman we’ve shared joys and sorrows with, the confidante whom we’ve lost all too soon?”
About.com Women’s Issue editor (and I’m proud to call her a friend), Linda Lowen asked this in her recent article on Elizabeth Edwards and the Intimacy of Friendship. Linda explores female friendship in light of the loss of a woman who we related to, admired, and respected. She explored the bond that women share among their friends by writing:
“There’s a mutual imprinting that goes on between women who have spent years together and have experienced life’s major transitions together. When things big and small happen, friends like these don’t require you to explain everything from the ground up. There’s a common basis, a shared understanding, and the Read More »

Remembering Elizabeth Edwards & Dana
December 8, 2010 – 11:37 am
Remembering our girlfriends we’ve lost …
Rest in peace Elizabeth Edwards. You were a good mom, a supportive and faithful partner and a strong woman who inspired so many women.
My friend LINDA LOWEN, the Women’s Issues editor for About.com, had this to say about Elizabeth:
She touched our lives and evolved beyond the stereotypical “candidate’s wife.” She endured three of the worst tragedies a woman can face — the death of a child, a diagnosis of cancer, and an unfaithful husband. Yet her name became synonymous with resilience, and she inspired every woman who knew her story. Within 24 hours of learning that Elizabeth Edwards had discontinued treatment, we heard of her passing. We lost her too soon.
Just a day before, when hearing of Elizabeth Edwards’ situation, Linda wrote a touching tribute to her girlfriend Dana, who also passed away much too soon – for her friend Linda and for her three little boys.
Her story and tribute brought me to tears – not only for her pain and sadness, but for mine. Read More »

Be a Better Friend: Supporting a Friend Affected by Cancer
May 6, 2010 – 11:37 am
Life is tough … especially when a friend finds out she has cancer.
How can we, as girlfriends, be a better friend?
My girlfriend Karen (in the pink boa, of course!) lost her husband unexpectedly then found out she had breast cancer. She credits her sisters and girlfriends for helping her through this terrible time in her life. (She now supports cancer and heart disease research.)
It’s tough to know what to do when a friend finds out she has cancer. We’ve addressed this topic before and it unfortunately stays a trending topic. So, we are thankful for Read More »
