What can you do, what have you done for a family that has lost someone too soon?

Today I had to attend the funeral of a friend, who recently turned 40. She left behind a husband, and two little kids.

Our community has come together to support these folks, and we were there to support our friend, who passed away at the end of last month.

There have been too many losses, as of late, losses of people who were way too young to leave us.

What can one do, besides being there, and helping out with what needs to be done?

Our friend was diagnosed just slightly over a year ago with pancreatic cancer. They told her she had 6 months to 2 years. She lived a little over one year, and live she did!

Our community has come together, her closest childhood friend set up a Meal Train for which we have all been contributing to.

What things can we do, things that you have done (or things that were done for you) that can help ease the transition?
