My brother died very suddenly a few weeks ago and it's been a dreadful, awful time.
People have mostly been very kind and (I know) at a loss for what they can do.
I know I am being a right old cow but the phrase "Let me know if I can do anything" is seriously starting to grate on me.
it feels like the onus is on me to pick up the phone and start ordering people around or to even know what I want and also like it's a bit of a get out of jail free card - they've said their bit and off they go.
Now obviously I am being horrible and I probably have used the phrase myself in the past but I may just go for the next poor sap who says it to me.
