Holiday Dilemma - what would you do/

A friend and I have booked a holiday abroad in the upcoming weeks.
However her health has deteriorated quite a bit in the last few weeks.
She does not know if she is up to going or not.
There is no possibility of anyone taking her place and going instead. She has said that she wants to reimburse me the cost of the holiday if she doesn't go but that doesn't sit well with me though she insists the money is not problem.
I don't really want to go on my own, although in the past I have gone abroad on my own, but that was a number of years ago. not sure I'm up to that now.
What would YOU do in that situation.

Thanks so much for all your input and good wishes.
I think the reason she wants to give me the money I've paid is I booked it to please her as she used to go there with her late husband. It's probably not what I'd choose but I was happy to try it and it sounded very easy.
Will wait and see how things pan out.
