I'm so sorry. Please don't hesitate to ask for anything if you need it. Comfort, distraction, badly cooked food in the middle of the night, a pillow fight, anything, m'kay?
Thanks - I think we're more worried about extending our own offers to his family right now.
There really aren't words that seem adequate for this kind of thing, are there? The traditional phrases all seem pretty trite, but if you try to go off script, you usually end up with your foot in your mouth.
We're still in waiting mode right now to see when the funeral will be. I suspect that when that gets locked in, we're probably going to vote for some distraction on other days.
Cheerfully provided. Except not cheerful if that sort of thing isn't called for. Everything is so individual about this process, that you can't even know what will or won't help until it does. Good luck to you and still, condolences.
