[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old's very close friend just lost his mother unexpectedly on Mother's Day.  The boys are in the 6th grade. I am friendly with the father but not close. We text when the need arises, and we chat at shared activities. They are active members of their country of origin's community here in town, so I believe that village will have culturally appropriate meals covered.

Other than go to the memorial service and a general, unspecified offer to help (which I know is actually not helpful), what should we do that would be at all helpful? The boys are in similar activities, so I can offer rides to activities. I can offer care when the dad has something to attend to. I can offer that this child can come over after school whenever needed. What else? [/quote]

I can’t imagine what they’re going through and especially that little boy.

Rides play dates, and activities all sound extremely helpful. I’m not trying to stereotype but helping with meals, especially after the initial rush is over at least for a couple months.
