My closest friend has just lost her Beloved Adult Daughter overnight,after a very quick and cruel cancer battle.What practicle help can I do with a full lockdown going on.The funeral will be small,I think 10,no paying respects at the family home.Its so different and makes an impossibly hard time even harder.I cant pop round and give my friend a hug.Our coping strategies have gone because of covid.I cant even cook something and drop it round.Things that we do best in the darkest days for others now cant be done.Can anyone suggest anything useful I could do? We dont live in the uk and the funeral will be in the next 2-3 days which is standard here.I just feel so helpless and heartbroken for them and want to reach out.
