Each Unhappy Family Is Unhappy In Its Own Way
― Leo Tolstoy, Anna Karenina
My good friend’s mother-in-law just died from Covid. He held down the home fort while his wife traveled to be at the hospital.
Another good friend has been putting his life on hold while his mother goes back and forth between the hospital and rehab.
Meanwhile, I also spent much of last week traveling to, waiting in, and traveling home from a hospital. In my case, with my father, to get a better explanation of a proposed medical procedure than his local doctors were capable of.
You can’t know how to help someone who’s worried or grieving. We all handle things in our own way. All you can do is ask how you can help. Or make suggestions of things that helped you, and see if they’re interested.
