When a Friend is Grieving, Offer Specific Ways You Can Help. Around this time last year, my mom passed away. I was in charge of planning her funeral and burial arrangements, dealing with her stuff, and pretty much all the other horrible things that you have to do when someone dies. Oh, and I live in San Francisco and my mom was in North Carolina. Literally hundreds of people offered to help me on Facebook and via text, but only two people did. The reason? Only two people made actual suggestions on what they could do to help.

The best deals to be found on the web, all in one place for your convenience! It’s increasingly difficult to do anything on your phone nowadays without sharing your geolocation information. Certain Snapchat filters, Facebook status updates.

It’s cake versus ice cream for Splatoon 2's first Splatfest and we’re streaming all the fun live on our Twitch channel. Come and join the mayhem! If there’s anything that just about sums up the desperation of the Great Depression in one filthy package, it’s photos of the Dust Bowl, when over-farming.

A temporary Independence Day celebration in Watch Dogs 2 was suspended early on July 4 because it was enraging too many people who still play Ubisoft’s late 2016. · Timbuk2 Laptop Backpack, PS4 COD: WWII Bundle, BOGO Free Fandango Movie Tickets, Food Wars, LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar, and more Welcome to IGN's Daily.

Around the same time, two of my other close friends also lost parents. Like me, they experienced the same phenomenon. We all desperately needed help and support, and friends offered, but no one followed through, for the most part because we didn’t ask. Death is awful. The weeks following my mom’s death were awful. While I definitely needed the help, I didn’t have the energy or the time to coordinate with friends to handle things.

If someone had asked “Would you like a sandwich?” The answer would have most certainly been “Yes. I haven’t eaten in 2 days.” But when faced with no sandwich and a hundred people offering to help, I’m not going to text anyone and ask for food, or a ride to the funeral home, or help buying flowers. That’s weird. It’s uncomfortable. For a traditionally independent person, it feels like begging even though it’s something your friends are generically offering to do. I mean, technically I can drive myself places and find my own sandwich. For me, the two people that did help were a friend who offered to watch my dog while I headed east, and another superhero pal who actually took a few days off work, said she would just drive me to anything I needed her to, and managed to help me do everything from pick out flowers to deal with the funeral home. I would have never in a million years asked either of them out of the blue, but that they volunteered for those specific tasks was worth a million.

Instead of saying “Let me know if I can help!” I encourage everyone to instead offer a suggestion on exactly what they have time for. Here are some ideas: “Can I bring/buy you breakfast/lunch/dinner?”This is the easiest thing to do by far.

Just offer to bring dinner over for an evening or two. It’s amazing how much there is to do and how easy it is to forget to eat while you’re dealing with it all. Make a frozen lasagna. Raid the snack aisle at Trader Joes. If this is a close friend, you don’t even need to ask for this one. Just make/buy some stuff and coordinate a drop off or just leave it on their porch (presuming you know they’ll be home).“I’d be happy to watch your kids/dog/cat/goat while you deal with everything.” If someone has a child or a pet, then they’re going to have to figure out how to care for them while they’re also dealing with everything else. Obviously, this will vary depending on how close you are with the person.

But, even suggesting you can babysit for a specific evening or two, or come over and take the dog on some walks, can be an invaluable gesture.“I’m free on Saturday. What errands do you need help with or can I drive you anywhere?”I would have never even thought to ask a friend to drive me places like the funeral home and flower shop, but wow was it helpful.

It was nice to not have to handle those small things alone, and not have to be behind the wheel (which was probably dangerous). By offering a specific time you’re free, you also give your friend the opportunity to respond with “No, but could you do this?”“I have a bunch of airline miles. Can I give you some to help pay for your ticket?”Thanks to losers who took advantage of the system, airlines don’t offer bereavement fares anymore. That means that if your friend has to travel, they’re likely buying a VERY expensive last- minute ticket. If you’re sitting on a bunch of miles from traveling for work, offer to help them snag a ticket home (or back).

Funerals are insanely expensive and airline miles can help offset some of the financial blow. At the end of the day, you’re the one that knows your friend the best and what’s appropriate depends a bit on your level of friendship.

However, if you truly want to help them out, make a suggestion for something you know they might need. Whether it’s helping them take care of work or family commitments while they’re away, or just offering them lunch.

If you offer something specific, they’ll be much more likely to take you up on it.
