[quote=Anonymous]I just lost my dad a week ago and have been appreciative of any and everyone who has reached out via text, phone, card, etc. I now live in Boston and my dad was down in VA so no one up here even knew him. But SO many people have reached out to share their stories of loss, offering help if I need it, left cards for me. I am overwhelmed by their kindness. Only one person reached out to offer me a meal and I took another person's advice and accepted the offer and am so glad I did. I have two kids with busy activity schedules and it was so nice to come home to find a hot pot of chili, homemade corn bread and a bottle of wine sitting on my steps :) I guess my advice as someone on the "other side of things" is do reach out again- she likely is not in a place to reach out to you. All gestures of kindness are appreciated, and if she really is not in a place to accept food, she will likely tell you another time.[/quote]
