Lunch with my friend

I drove into the country and picked up my friend from the cafe. Four or five years ago, she lived in a nursing home and during that time, she lost a lot of weight. Because she gained all the weight back, she has mobility issues. She had trouble getting into the car, a mid size car. She can't put on the seatbelt by herself. She waddles from side to side when she walks. I am sad. Sad that she is shortening her life span. This is my friend I have known for 32 years! She would like to work and is getting together with a job coach. How can she hold a job if she can't get around? I hadn't seen her in many months, so her additional weight was a shock. I am concerned. What can I do for her? It was an eye opening experience.
