[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I were both “orphans” by the time we were 40. No one showed us any grace at all as far as work or social obligations. And because we were the only ones of our peers going through it, we didn’t know to ask or expect anything different. Now that I’m in my late 50s, my friends are dealing with these issues and I’m trying to remember what I would have wanted when my parents were sick or dying. I would have loved more check-in’s and suggestions of quiet and quick things to do—coffee date vs girls weekend. If it’s a true friendship, it’ll survive some time apart. In the meantime, find some other social outlets like a class, gym, volunteering etc to occupy your time and so you’ll have some interesting new stories to share when your friends reconnect. [/quote]
