It would be easy to make decisions for me that I would later regret. Do offer to go grocery shopping or run errands. Give me a ride to church. Pick up children for soccer practice. Ask to walk my dog.
Everyday chores seem overwhelming.
In these simple ways you can help and express caring. Try not to be shocked by what I say. Grief isn't pretty. Let me express all my feelings and don't judge. I've been at the point where the only thing that made me feel any better was to imagine what it would be like to die.
