My best friend's wife passed away today.

@saragoodtimes bring some food . You don’t have to cook . Sam’s or Costco have stuff ready up eat after it’s heated up . Help pick up around the house while people are there , do some dishes , clean out his fridge so all the left over food can be put away . He’s going to be crushed and spending time with his immediate family , but he will know you were there. He’s your best friend .

@TexChik even a tray of cold cuts and rolls is fine. most markets will make one up in a short time for a special occasion

@saragoodtimes mom was always very clear about what to do in these situations . She would call everybody and they would all pick a dish . She usually fried chicken or made a cake . And they cleaned up the house. If the person died in bed they changed the sheets , did the bath rooms and made the place look presentable
