Just Be There

No one wants clumsy condolences, meaningless quotes from some obscure book written by someone who'd never experienced the death of a loved one, and least of all pity.

The important thing is not what you say, but what you do. Like making a meal for them. Or just being there. That's the important thing. Being there shows them that you care and that they're not alone.
