Some of the best advice I ever got came from a friend

whose husband died, leaving her with two young children. 
 

Just do the next thing.

Take the next moment, 

the next thing, 

the next breath.

{Linda's advice to Debbie}

 

 

One of my grown kids said this to me the other day (I paraphrased it):

 

"Tell them everyone's stumbling around the first few days.

Nobody knows what to do. A lot of dumb things will be said; hurtful, irritating and insensitive things. 

People will hang around aimlessly. You may question their motives.

Maybe they don't know why they're doing something, either.

People may bring too much food. Accept it without a 'no thanks', anyway - even if it's sushi. 

Take a drink if someone offers it. Don't be afraid to ask for something you need. 

   People are going to say and do dumb things. Forgive them.
