We had a friend who watched our youngest son while we went to our fifty-eight counseling sessions. She refused to let us pay her too.

My sisters took my two young daughters to the mall on the day we were to make funeral arrangements for my son. They picked out a few outfits for me to choose from for the girls to wear to his memorial service. They also picked some clothing for me. It was a huge help not to have to shop for those outfits, and they just returned the ones I did not choose.

Invite but don’t push. For some mysterious reason I’ve never been able to put my finger on, facing a crowd when you’re grieving can be hard. Walking into church, a Little League game, a popular restaurant, a mall, and other places can be emotionally overwhelming. You know that people you might encounter are very afraid of saying the wrong thing or dread the possibility that things will get awkward. I remember in those early months that I headed to church each week with two significant fears. I was afraid that everyone would ask me about Hope. And I was afraid no one would speak to me about Hope. Both possibilities made each Sunday hard for a long time.
