I can understand it. Your mom is almost certainly going to get better in a very short amount of time. Her friend is not. In an ideal world we'd all be totally removed from our own baggage when providing support to friends, but the truth is it's hard to see someone easily overcome something which we are struggling much harder with, no matter what it is.
