Hey folks!

So I posted here once many months back when we first got the news. My best friend has not been officially diagnosed, but she meets the criteria for an official diagnosis in most areas of the country (Canada) but not in my particular province (Alberta). If she were in any other province she would have met the criteria for an official diagnosis. At this time they are only saying that it is likely.

She got MRI results back that show she has gotten an increase in brain lesions. I was trying to host her bachelorette this weekend (My FOURTH attempt at a bachelorette in the midst of COVID). There were only 5 of us attending (yes, with social distancing) and now that she got the news she asked to cancel it again. She said she feels like shes drowning, she is stressed with last-minute wedding changes (again, COVID).

She has to finalize the seating chart (?? Theres only 20 of us I believe so I'm not sure why she needs one - I offered to do it and she said no as I dont know who many people are), help her dad buy an outfit for the wedding (we've known about this for awhile. I offered to do it and she said no), and we need to finalize last minute things like how she will do her own hair and makeup.

On top of this, she and her fiance just moved into their new home.

Then she gets these results

I understand she is stressed. The wedding is on August 7, so it's very soon. I cancelled her bachelorette again, she doesnt want me to help with any of the wedding plans, and she doesnt even want to think about unpacking.

What can I do to support her? I'm so frustrated with her medical news - I don't know how to support her. She doesn't have many physical symptoms at this point (mostly constant numbness in some of her extremities is the worst one) so I am not too worried about that end of things... I'm worried about her mental health. Help!??!?? I just need some support. Normally I would lean on her for advice but she is overwhelmed. What can I realistically do?

Note: the worst part is that she changed the wedding date and I couldn't get approved for the day off. The wedding is at 2pm and I can only leave at noon. So I'm next to useless the day of.
