How can I deal with all the bad things that are happening to friends?

I know of so many people that have cancer right now. A good friend of mine here on Q&A's has cancer and has decided against treatment, the mother in law of another friend of mine just got diagnosed with brain cancer and has 10 days to live, another friend's mom has uterine cancer, and another friend lost both of his parents within 16 hours of each other. How do I keep my chin up when there's so much to worry about? How should I deal with all of this sickness and death?? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't know much, but i know one thing - there is a God up there that allows bad things to happen to good people. don't know why... as a test of faith or something like it....
I recently heard something that might be appropriate for everyone suffering from some illness. they say "laugh and everyone will laugh with you. cry and you'll cry alone".
my suggestion is never let them feel like they're alone. as for you, keep God in mind when you see troubled people.

all you can do is just show them that youre always there to lend a shoulder to cry on or a helping hand.. thats really all they need to hear.. you just need to be there for them at their hard times.

Just remember that we all have to die sometime and be with them whenever you can to cheer them up .

Hi there, I have leukemia,I built a wall in my mind and just don't allow myself to think of it and carry on with my life,sorry to hear of your friends but there isn't anything you can do .so just be the nice friend you've always been and don't think of these illnesses for it could cause light depression take
