'I can't begin to imagine what it’s felt like for her, and while I’ve tried to help as much as I can, at times I’ve just felt completely helpless.
'I think about all the times she grabbed my hand and said, "Babe, please help," knowing full well I couldn’t do anything more for her, and it absolutely rips my heart out.'
