[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend in my circle of moms has suffered a very sudden and unimaginable tragedy a couple weeks ago. She is asking people not to call, text, or come by to visit as she wants to be left alone (with family) and does not want sympathy/pity/support. [b]I totally get it but doing absolutely nothing feels wrong.[/b] Would you do anything in this situation or give it time and they revisit later? I know people always say your real friends show up and I don’t want her to think that I am not. Just not sure what to do. [/quote] If she can deal with her emotions around this tragedy, you can deal with your discomfort about how she has asked you to respond. I would do nothing right now, and maybe occasionally check in with the mom circle to see if anyone knows if her needs/wants have changed.[/quote]
