Lindsey, I cannot tell you how helpful this is. π One of my closest friends lost her mother unexpectedly last month, and it's been so hard navigating how to support her. I feel like I'm running out of things to do/say! But I LOVE the idea of offering a series of choices on how to be supportive so I actually texted her a few (things to make her laugh because I know she's still not ready to see people, so it was options like, "I can send you: A) a funny video of us B)...etc." and she got back to me and picked one and totally appreciated it! This is such great advice, thank you so much!
