When my husband died, my church family didn't phone constantly, they knew I didn't want to talk but they surrounded us practically, every day they bought us a home cooked meal ❤

@PatientlyWaiting25 this is so relatable. When my dad died I didn’t even wanna call people to tell them so I didn’t. I even avoided calls when they came in. I just didn’t want to talk about it. The announcement was published publicly and I didn’t want to have discussions about how everyone was coping. I wish everyone would have just backed off and maybe made food or mailed a card as a form of support. lol. Sounfs abrupt but it’s true

@DoubleRings going through that kind of grief is exhausting, the last thing you need is endless phone calls asking how you are feeling. I wouldn't have eaten if my church hadn't provided those meals. All I wanted to do was sleep.
