My neighbour died..

[Wrecktal]

...I feel quite distraught. Brings back memories of my Dad dying at a similar time two years ago. They were a couple - it happened a week ago (ambulance outside, private ambulance took body away) and I want to offer my support, especially at this time of year. But I also don’t want to intrude. Do I do anything?

I would leave something on the doorstep. After my Mum died (at home) i got almost to screaming point with the lovely, so well meaning neighbours knocking on the door. It was so well intentioned but I was just shell shocked and having then to pull myself together and talk to them and hear their memories and sympathy was incredibly tough unless I was in the right mood... So maybe a cake, or a bottle of wine, or a plant, reiterating the offer of assistance etc.
