re: Friends son just passed away in a car accident

My husband passed away in January. I’m not drawing any comparison between being widowed and losing a child, but there were things that people did that I never would have thought of. Grief groceries-several friends sent groceries to us. Tons of Kleenex, rotisserie chickens, dog treats and kid-friendly foods for our grandkids. Offer fridge space or parking for their visitors; if you have room, maybe host out of town family if that’s needed. Maintain their lawn for them. Bring sandwich trays to the funeral home for visitation. Pick up people at the airport, offer to run errands. All of the routine things we all do aren’t going to feel routine for them. Pray for them and let them know they’re loved. I’m deeply grateful for every kindness shown to my family-every condolence expressed. It’s been mentioned several times, but being there for them after the initial outpouring of support is so helpful
