Keep up the contact

One of the hardest things, I think, is that people will check in with you for a little while, like maybe a couple weeks, and after that other people mentally move on and the grief can get especially isolating. I also appreciate the people who called vs just texted, even if I didn’t answer. Even better if you can remember to check in on firsts—like first month without the person etc, bc the firsts really hurt. For the more immediate aftermath, food delivery app credits are helpful, too ❤️ You’re a good friend for even thinking about this.
