[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why everyone on this board feels entitled to the details of your friend's situation. I'm not sure how old your kids are, but I'd probably discuss with my kids. At least give them a sense that so-and-so is having a health issue (?) and that sometimes people die from it. Another voice to try NOW to set up therapy for yourself--it will probably take a while to find someone. It sounds like this is really affecting you (because you are a good friend!) and I think you should take that step for your own mental health. As for what you can do-- Are there kids you could offer to take for an afternoon? Can you send a short note with no expectation of receiving anything back from the people in crisis? Maybe drop off a food gift card if they are in crisis and might not be able to deal with making dinner Plan to send a sympathy card if needed. Think of memories of your friend. Write a few of them down to share with their family at some point.[/quote]
