Today I found out one of my closest friends was diagnosed with lymphoma and I asked what I can do to help him beat this and received 56 unchanging. Any help interpreting this?
My thoughts are that Yi is reminding me that I have minimal influence here, that I am just a "traveller" passing through this experience. That, instead of trying to make a change, I ought to adapt to the circumstances and add my gifts as the situation warrants them.
I think you have this exactly right. Too often when someone is diagnosed with a serious illness others immediately want to force their views on them about what they ought to do and how they should 'beat' this. Very often this isn't helpful and is more for the benefit of the friend than the sick person. The best thing a person can offer IMO is simply to accompany their friend, be there when needed, adapting to what is required.
