My girlfriend's mom is getting Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). I have no idea what to do or say for her.

Don't, just be there for her. Check up on her, and make yourself available to her as she needs you. Take care of her. Don't try to find words to say because there are none, you can't make it okay, be the okay she needs by being a safe space to vent and grieve in.

You don't need to say anything. The biggest comfort people have given me is not saying anything to me, it's listening to me. It's totally ok to say "I don't know what to say."

Ask her if there's anything you can do. Say "Seriously, ANYTHING. Any time."

This is bad because she might not want to feel like sheโ€™s being a burden.

Wait, was that a sex joke?
