A friend's mother died last week. The services were this past Friday and Saturday and I wasn't able to attend. I feel awful about not being able to support her. But... newsflash reminder for me: supporting her isn't just about being there for the initial shock of grief... it's really about checking in on random days, sending notes... actually being there. Not just showing up out of a sense of obligation, but reaching out whenever she comes to mind, sending her notes, and showing up in person to support her, when possible.
A good reminder for us all... grief does not end at the funeral.
