it's false.

"every person has their limitations which prevent us from accomplishing something. some are better than mathematics for example and some are worse. those people who are worse might never be able to become mathematicians, but that does not mean that they would not be great at doing something else."

just be there for her.

explanation:

not necessarily literally but figuratively. also don't say things like "i understand how you feel", because even though you are trying to , you clearly don't understand how she feels (i'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you've never had a heart attack). also just let her rest. that is one of the best things for you to do.
