I do realize that the support I provide is indeed something, but it is frustrating not to be able to more directly provide relief for what she is experiencing.

It's a frustrating situation. The best you can do is be supportive and listen to her. There are some great people in the medical profession but, for the most part, they are not going through what she is and so can't totally understand it. Best of luck.
