This is a great point. Some parents feel, over time, that others have forgotten their child. Support is appreciated in the times when meals, visits, etc. fade. Some never fully accept the loss and impacts who they are as a person

I've lost a lot of friends over the years. I always try tp make a point, when I see their parents, to let them know I still think about them all the time, and will just share a few things that trigger my thoughts and memories of that person.

I also try to always share sometime that only I and that person knew - a story about something no one else knows, something they once told me, a time they were there for me etc.

So I am with most others here. It's one thing to be there for him now, but be sure to always be there for him later, when shite cools down and the flood of people stops.
