A member of my immediate family died recently, closest person I have ever lost in my life.
I know she is in a good place and death is a part of life, we grief for us. Our loss of being able to to talk to and hug this person.
But anyway, I was way in the country, no internet access all week. That usually drives me nuts but not this time. The neighbors and church congregation were amazing. Food was brought in, flowers sent, offers of guest rooms for traveling family members...the community was great.
We didn't have to anything but make the memorial arrangements and visit. I remember growing up that is how it was in my town when someone passed, but it amazed me that it is still the exact same way.
Love thy neighbor, and they live it.
