My neighbor’s son passed away in April last year and what would have been his son’s 23rd birthday is coming up at the end of the month, so I know the next few weeks are going to be really hard on him.
We’re friends, but not super close. I’d like to do something for him, but can’t think of much beyond bringing over food and/or flowers. Any suggestions?
Giving people food is common because it’s something they don’t have to deal with along with their grief. If there’s something you can do for them to lighten their load, chores or take care of something or giving them a meal or just letting them know you’re around not just to listen but to help with stuff they might need a hand with is plenty.
