Hi
I've managed to get to 38 without losing anyone close to me or supporting someone through a bereavement
Now I'm in that situation and want to make sure I'm getting it right. My best friends mum died in the night, she's been ill for a long time and has been in hospital since the weekend. I've been helping when I can, looking after my friends children and I visited the hospital a couple of times.
I don't know what happens next? Where can I be helpful? Take flowers round? I wondered about taking something for them to eat? They don't need any shopping but neither my friend, her husband or her family have been eating properly for days.
Is today too soon to do anything. We're very close ( both in distance and as friends) and I want to get it right.
To be honest I just want to go round and give her a big hug . I'm also gutted as I was close to her mum, she was so lovely
Any advice would be lovely thanks
